The osteopetrotic grey-lethal (gl) mouse mutant displays many similarities to the human malignant autosomal-recessive form of osteopetrosis. In this study, we show that the gl osteopetrotic bone phenotype is characterized by the presence of numerous differentiated multinucleated osteoclasts. A significant increase in the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive osteoclasts was detected in...
