Identifying the role of NBAS in bone fragility using zebrafish and exploring therapeutic targets to reverse NBAS activity

Balasubramanian Meena , Baxendale Sarah , Roehl Henry

Background: We discovered that variants in NBAS (Neuroblastoma Amplified Sequence Gene) known to be associated with acute liver failure are also responsible for skeletal abnormalities. This work was published as a novel cause of bone fragility [Balasubramanian et al., 2017]. NBAS role in bone fragility provides an opportunity to use tractable animal research to advance understanding of mechanism and identify potential new treatments. This would be beneficial to patien...
