GNAS/Gnas encodes G(s)α that is mainly biallelically expressed but shows imprinted expression in some tissues. In Albright Hereditary Osteodystrophy (AHO) heterozygous loss of function mutations of GNAS can result in ectopic ossification that tends to be superficial and attributable to haploinsufficiency of biallelically expressed G(s)α. Oed-Sml is a point missense mutation in exon 6 of the orthologous mouse...
