Abstract excerpt
Phenotype variability and incomplete penetrance are frequently observed in human monogenic diseases such as osteogenesis imperfecta. Here an inbred strain of transgenic mice expressing an internally deleted gene for the pro alpha 1(I) chain of type I procollagen (COL1A1) was bred to wild type mice of the same strain so that the inheritance of a fracture phenotype could be examined in a homogeneous genetic...
