Camurati-Engelmann disease

Definition

Camurati-Engelmann disease (CED) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by hyperostosis of the diaphysis of long bones and the skull. The onset of CED is during early childhood with muscle weakness and limb pain. The mutations in TGF-beta 1 LAP domain modulate TGF-beta 1 activity and lead to increased proliferation of osteoblasts in CED.
