Core Tip

Core Tip: Autosomal dominant osteopetrosis (ADO-II) is an autosomal dominant form of osteopetrosis. In ADO-II patients, the clinical spectrum ranges from nonsymptomatic to recurrent fractures, anemia, and a favorable prognosis. We reported a 53-year-old female patient with persistent joint pain, who was accidentally diagnosed with ADO-II at a later age. Her asymptomatic daughter was also diagnosed with ADO-II, as confirmed by whole exome sequencing.
