Abnormal Bone Tissue Organization and Osteocyte Lacunocanalicular Network in Early‐Onset Osteoporosis Due to SGMS2 Mutations
Abstract Pathological variants in SGMS2, encoding sphingomyelin synthase 2 (SMS2), result in a rare autosomal dominant skeletal disorder with cranial doughnut lesions. The disease manifests as early‐onset osteoporosis or a more severe skeletal dysplasia with low bone mineral density, frequent fractu...

Last, osteocyte lacunae appeared abnormally large and round in shape and the canalicular network severely disturbed with short‐spanned canaliculi lacking any orderliness or continuity. Taken together, these data underline a central role for functional SMS2 in bone matrix organization and mineralization, lacunocanalicular network, and in maintaining skeletal strength and integrity.
