阅读:1

Abstract

A 24-year-old female patient was diagnosed with osteoporosis after presenting with numerous fractures throughout her childhood and adolescence. Risk factors included chronic constipation, severe vitamin D deficiency, and long-term high-dose steroid use for severe eczema. Metabolic bone disorder clinical exome screening (limited panel of metabolic bone disorders and gastrointestinal disorders) was undertaken and revealed a class 4 likely pathogenic variant in the LRP5 gene known to cause osteoporosis. Optimal treatment for patients with this variant is not well defined. A literature review of the condition and potential treatment options is discussed.
