Abstract excerpt
A single point mutation (G to T) in the low-density lipoprotein receptor related protein 5 (LRP5) gene results in a glycine to valine amino acid change (G171V) and is responsible for an autosomal dominant high bone mass trait (HBM) in two independent kindreds. LRP5 acts as a co-receptor to Wnts w...
