Identification of novel mutation in RANKL by whole‐exome sequencing in a Thai family with osteopetrosis; a case report and review of RANKL osteopetrosis

Abstract Background Osteopetrosis is a rare form of skeletal dysplasia characterized by increased bone density that leads to bone marrow failure, compressive neuropathy, and skeletal dysmorphism. Molecular diagnosis is essential as it guides treatment and prognosis. We report Thai siblings with an u...
