Article Synopsis
- Recent research links mutations in the PLS3 gene to severe primary osteoporosis, chiefly in males due to its location on the X chromosome.
- An 8-year-old boy exhibited severe osteoporosis symptoms, akin to osteogenesis imperfecta, prompting genetic testing, which ruled out other common mutations.
- The identification of a new frameshift deletion in the PLS3 gene confirmed his diagnosis, emphasizing the need for PLS3 screening in patients with frequent fractures for accurate genetic counseling.
