Treatment for Skeletal Diseases Caused by Intracellular Protein Trafficking Defects

摘要

The present invention includes a method of treating a bone disease caused by a intracellular protein trafficking defect comprising: identifying a subject having the bone disease caused by the intracellular protein trafficking defect in a membrane bound transcription factor peptidase, site 1 (MBTPS1) gene; and providing the subject with an effective amount of a composition that bypasses or corrects a defect in MBTPS1 gene expression, gene splicing, or corrects protein trafficking defects in the endoplasmic reticulum and to the lysosome.
