Abstract excerpt
A line of transgenic mice have been investigated that expressed moderate levels of an internally deleted human gene for the pro alpha (I) chain of type I procollagen. These mice expressed the gene at approximately 50% that of the endogenous gene. The gene construct was modeled after a sporadic in-frame deletion of the human gene that produced a lethal variant of osteogenesis imperfecta by causing biosynthesis of...
