Research Progress Related to Osteopetrosis
Research into causes and treatments of osteopetrosis continue to focus on:
- Genetic and molecular mechanisms of abnormal bone formation and breakdown.
- Development of medications to treat specific types of the disease.
- Optimal surgical strategies for management of complications.
- Modifications to bone marrow transplantation approaches that would decrease the risks of transplantation and make it a potential option for people with select types of osteopetrosis.
