15 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: A loss of function mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene is believed to be an independent risk factor for bone disease in patients with cystic fibrosis. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this work was to use congenic mice as a preclinical model to examine the bone phenotype of Cftr(-/-) mice and control littermates at 8, 12, and 28 weeks of age.
