Osteopetrosis results from a heterogeneous group of congenital bone diseases that display inadequate osteoclastic bone resorption. We recently mapped tl (toothless), a mutation that causes osteopetrosis in rats, to a genetic region predicted to include the rat Csf1 gene. In this study, we sequenced the coding sequence of the rat Csf1 gene to determine if a mutation in Csf1 could be responsible for the tl...
