Abstract excerpt
Genetic mapping and positional cloning of genes, in which mutations lead to osteochondrodysplasias in humans and mice, combined with studies of transgenic mice with mutations in cloned genes, is providing novel and exciting insights into the molecular mechanisms of cartilage and bone development...
