Abstract excerpt
Osteopetrosis, a skeletal disorder of inadequate bone resorption with an abnormal increase in skeletal mass, results from a variety of independent single gene mutations that affect osteoclast differentiation and/or function. The osteopetrotic defect, op, is one of four spontaneous, nonallelic mutations in rats that result in osteopetrosis. In intercross progeny of (BN/SsN x LEW/SsN. +/op) F1 carriers, we mapped...
