Juvenile Paget's disease (JPD) is a rare heritable osteopathy characterized biochemically by markedly increased serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity emanating from generalized acceleration of skeletal turnover. Affected infants and children typically suffer bone pain fractures deformities, become deaf, have macrocranium. Some who survive to young adult life develop blindness retinopathy engendered vascular microcalcification. Most cases JPD are caused osteoprotegerin (OPG) deficiency...
