Objectives

Paget's disease of bone (PDB), with a prevalence of 2 to 5 % in Caucasians >55 years, is the second most frequent metabolic bone disease, after osteoporosis. PDB characteristics are bone lesions with an imbalanced bone remodeling, resulting in disorganized and nonfully fledged new bone. PDB etiology is not completely understood. In this review, current views on the etiology, clinical aspects, and PDB treatment are summarized and discussed.

Methods

The PubMed database was searched using the keywords PDB, sequestosome1 (SQSTM1), valosin-containing protein (VCP), receptor activator of nuclear factor-¦ÊB (RANK), osteoprotegerin (OPG), RANK ligand (RANKL), mutation, genetic variants, virus, osteosarcoma, bisphosphonates, and denosumab.

Results

Environmental evidence (e.g. viruses) and also genetic risk factors have been found for PDB. Until now, SQSTM1 was the only PDB-causing gene identified. However, PDB patients without SQSTM1 mutations seem to have susceptibility genetic polymorphisms in regions containing the CaSR, ESR1, TNFRSF11B (OPG), TNFRSF11A (RANK), CSF1 (M-CSF), OPTN, TM7SF4 (DC-STAMP), VCP, NUP205, RIN3, PML, and GOLGA6A genes, resulting in an increased risk of developing PDB. The nature of these genes indicates that the regulation of osteoclastogenesis is a key process in PDB pathogenesis. Furthermore, with the involvement of SQSTM1 and VCP in autophagy and in forming protein aggregates, this might also indicate that a disturbance of these processes might be a risk factor.

Conclusions

Unraveling the PDB genetic background is instrumental to understanding the PDB pathogenesis and the role of slow viruses. Furthermore, it might make early detection and subsequently treatment of risk individuals possible.
