Abstract excerpt
Runx1 is expressed in skeletal elements, but its role in fracture repair has not been analyzed. We created mice with a hypomorphic Runx1 allele (Runx1(L148A) ) and generated Runx1(L148A/-) mice in which >50% of Runx1 activity was abrogated. Runx1(L148A/-) mice were viable but runted. Their growth plates had extended proliferating and hypertrophic zones, and the percentages of Sox9-, Runx2-, and Runx3-positive...
