Pex Gene Deletions in Gy and Hyp Mice Provide Mouse Models for X-Linked Hypophosphatemia
1 Feb 1997
Abstract excerpt
X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets in humans is caused by mutations in the PEX gene which codes for a protein homologous to neutral endopeptidases. Hyp and Gy mice both have X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets, although genetic data and the different phenotypic spectra observed have previously suggested that two different genes are mutated. In addition to the metabolic disorder observed in Hyp mice, male Gy mice are...
