Osteoporosis-pseudoglioma syndrome or OPGG is a rare genetic condition characterized by early-onset blindness and severe osteoporosis alongside seemingly random bone fractures. It is clinically characterized by severe osteoporosis which is usually recognized and posteriorly diagnosed in ea...

The osteoporosis-pseudoglioma syndrome (OPPG) is an autosomal recessive disorder that affects skeletal strength and vision. The first sign of OPPG is often congenital or infancy-onset vision loss due to abnormal blood vessel development in the eye. However, some people affected with OPPG have skeletal fractures as their earliest findings. These fractures occur in the context of very low bone mass, a trait that can be measured radiologically. We first reported mutations in the gene LRP5 as the cause of OPPG. LRP5 (Low density lipoprotein recepto ...
