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...
