Abstract excerpt
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is characterized by rickets and osteomalacia and arises from mutations in the Phex and PHEX genes in mice (Hyp) and humans, respectively. The present study was undertaken to examine the effect of gene dose on the skeletal phenotype using a histomorphometric approach. Metrical traits (vertebral length, growth plate thickness, cancellous osteoid volume per bone volume, and...
