This condition is characterized by the failure of osteoclasts to resorb bone, resulting in impaired bone modeling/remodeling, and skeletal fragility despite increased bone mass; it is also associated with hematopoietic insufficiency, hypocalcemia, disturbed tooth eruption, nerve entrapment syndromes, and growth impairment. Some cases are also associated with progressive neurological deterioration. MEDGEN:1385510 malignant osteopetrosis GARD:0015012 MONDO:0019026 OPTB hereditary optic neuropathy
