Abstract excerpt
The Wnt co-receptor LRP5 plays a crucial role in skeletal physiology. Homozygous loss-of-function mutations in the Lrp5 gene produce severe osteopenia, whereas certain heterozygous point mutations produce extreme high bone mass (HBM). Different HBM-causing missense mutations are associated with variable effect magnitudes and sites of action in the skeleton. It is currently unknown whether the inclusion of 2...
