definition
Protein which, if defective, is associated with osteoporosis, a very common skeletal disorder, especially in women. Osteoporosis is characterized by a decrease in bone mass and a deterioration in bone microarchitecture without alteration in the composition of bone, leading to enhanced fragility of the skeleton and a greater risk of fracture. Osteoporosis is present when the bone mineral density is over 2.5 standard deviations below the young adult reference in the same sex. If fractures are present the condition is referred to as severe osteoporosis. The main cause of osteoporosis is the continuous loss of bone during life, which is exacerbate in women after menopause.
