Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in the human progressive ankylosis gene (ANKH; Mus musculus ortholog Ank) have been identified as cause for craniometaphyseal dysplasia (CMD), characterized by progressive thickening of craniofacial bones and flared metaphyses of long bones. We previously reported a knock-in (KI) mouse model (Ank KI/KI) for CMD and showed transiently lower serum phosphate (Pi) as well as significantly higher...
