Genetic study of atypical femoral fractures using exome sequencing in three affected sisters and three unrelated patients

Objectives: Atypical femoral fractures (AFF) are rare, often related to long-term bisphosphonate (BPs) treatment. Their pathogenic mechanisms are not precisely known and there is no evidence to identify patients with a high risk of AFF. The aim of this work is to study the genetic bases of AFFs. Mat...
