7、x and Lamy in 1962.They described the disorder in a report entitled La pycnodysostose.Pyknos dense/thick/compact Dysostosis abnormal bone formation Abnormally dense bone is a hallmark of the disease.WHO IS THIS?Pyknodysostosis is a rare(classified internationally as 2 star rare disease)genetic disea

9、nzyme defect disease due to mutation of Cathepsin-K gene By Linkage analysis,the pyknodysostosis locus is located on 1q21 Cathepsin K deficiency is the cause.Cathepsin K is cysteine protease,important for osteoclasts that are responsible for bone resorption.Normal function of osteoclasts is impaired
10、 due to a lack of cathepsin K and there is a failure of bone resorption.Hence bone remodeling is affected as a result of which bones are abnormally dense and brittle causing repeated fractures RISK FACTORS Pyknodysostosis is a rare disease so that,if there is no family history of the disease,the ris
11、k for a child to have pyknodysostosis is very low.Parental consanguinity is an important predisposing factor as it is inherited autosomal recessively The parents of a child with pyknodysostosis have no signs of the disease themselves but they each carry a single edition of the pyknodysostosis gene.T
