Brief description Osteoporosis is a common condition in Australia, yet treatment options are still limited. Study of rare genetic bone conditions known collectively as skeletal dysplasias have already led to the development of two new osteoporosis drug treatments. My project aims to identify the causative gene for several skeletal dysplasias, and to determine how these genes are involved in the development and maintenance of bone. This knowledge may then translate into new osteoporosis therapies.
