Abstract excerpt
The mechanisms that regulate bone mass are important in a variety of complex diseases such as osteopenia and osteoporosis. Regulation of bone mass is a polygenic trait and is also influenced by various environmental and lifestyle factors, making analysis of the genetic basis difficult. As an effort toward identifying novel genes involved in regulation of bone mass, N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) mutagenesis in mice...
