Camurati-Engelmann disease (CED) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by hyperostosis of the diaphysis of long bones and the skull. The onset of CED is during early childhood with muscle weakness and limb pain. The mutations in TGF-beta 1 LAP domain modulate TGF-beta 1 activity and lead to increased proliferation of osteoblasts in CED.

タイトル
Domain-specific mutations of a transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta 1 latency-associated peptide cause Camurati-Engelmann disease because of the formation of a constitutively active form of TGF-beta 1.
