New study aims to predict Paget's disease before it strikes
NCT ID NCT05309954
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a genetic test can predict who will develop Paget's disease of the bone, a condition that can cause pain, deformity, and hearing loss. Researchers are studying 135 people aged 45 and older who have a parent or sibling with Paget's but do not have the disease themselves. Participants get a bone scan at the start and again after five years, along with blood, saliva, and stool tests, to see how well genetic markers predict the disease.
