Paget's disease of bone is generally diagnosed in individuals aged >50 years, usually manifests in one or several bones and is initiated by osteoclast-induced osteolytic lesions. Subsequently, over a period of many years, osteoblastic activity can result in sclerosis and deformation of bone. The prevalence of Paget's disease is highest in the UK and in countries where a large number of residents have ancestors from the UK. Currently, in many countries, the prevalence of the disorder has decreased. A considerable number of affected patients have a family history of Paget's disease and the disorder has an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance but with incomplete penetrance. A large number of mutations in SQSTM1 (which encodes sequestosome-1; also known as ubiquitin-binding protein p62) seem to account for the susceptibility to develop Paget's disease in some families; the involvement of other genes is currently under investigation. In addition to a genetic cause, environmental factors have been proposed to have a role in the pathogenesis of Paget's disease. Although most evidence has been presented for measles virus as an aetiologic factor, some studies have not confirmed its involvement. The decreasing incidence of Paget's disease, which could be attributed to measles vaccination along with the measles virus nucleocapsid protein induction of Paget's disease lesions in transgenic mice, supports an aetiologic role of the virus.
