Murine models of human genetic skeletal disorders.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic and molecular biological studies have recently resulted in the identification of gene mutations responsible for a large number of human osteochondrodysplasias, skeletal disorders associated with abnormalities of cartilage and/or bone development and growth. Mouse strains carrying mutations in homologous genes are useful, not only because they provide sources of abnormal tissue, but also because specific...
