Abstract excerpt
The TRPV4 skeletal dysplasias are characterized by short stature, short limbs with prominent large joints, and progressive scoliosis. They result from dominant missense mutations that activate the TRPV4 calcium permeable ion channel. As a platform to understand the mechanism of disease and to test the hypothesis that channel inhibition could treat these disorders, we developed a knock-in mouse that conditionally...
