Abstract excerpt
The most severe form of bone autosomal recessive osteopetrosis both in humans and in the gray-lethal (gl/gl) mouse is caused by mutations in the Ostm1 gene. Although osteopetrosis is usually associated with a defect in the hematopoietic-derived osteoclast cells, this study determined that Ostm1 is expressed in many hematopoietic cells of the myeloid and lymphoid B- and T-lineages. Hematopoiesis in gl/gl mice is...
