Abstract excerpt
Osteosclerosis (oc) is an autosomal recessive lethal mutation that impairs bone resorption by osteoclasts, and induces a general increase of bone density in affected mice. Genetic mapping of the oc mutation was used as a backbone in a positional cloning approach in the pericentromeric region of mouse chromosome 19. Perfect cosegregation of the osteopetrotic phenotype with polymorphic markers enabled the...
