Studies on Abnormal Bone from Patients with Polyostotic Fibrous Dysplasia and McCune Albright Syndrome
This study will investigate how a gene mutation (change in DNA) causes the abnormal bone in fibrous dysplasia-a condition in which areas of normal bone are replaced with a fibrous growth similar to a scar. The bone abnormalities in fibrous dysplasia can occur in a single bone (monostotic fibrous dysplasia),…
