Pregnancy- and lactation-associated osteoporosis is examined through a clinical and genetic study of affected Taiwanese women, offering insights into patient presentation and investigative approaches.
Key Takeaways
- Eleven Taiwanese women with PLO were analyzed using a 398-gene bone-related panel and whole-exome sequencing.
- Rare likely pathogenic variants in bone and WNT-pathway genes recurred across the cohort suggesting genetic susceptibility.
- Patients presented with notable vertebral compression fracture burden and were followed for longitudinal skeletal recovery after diagnosis.
