High Bone Mass in Mice Expressing a Mutant <i>LRP5</i> Gene
1 Jun 2003
Abstract excerpt
A unique mutation in LRP5 is associated with high bone mass in man. Transgenic mice expressing this LRP5 mutation have a similar phenotype with high bone mass and enhanced strength. These results underscore the importance of LRP5 in skeletal regulation and suggest targets for therapies for bone disease. A mutation (G171V) in the low-density lipoprotein receptor related protein 5 (LRP5) has been associated with...
