Abstract excerpt
Despite advances in understanding the molecular basis of Osteogenesis Imperfecta, the mechanisms by which type I collagen mutations compromise whole bone function are not well understood. Previously, we have shown that a heterozygous type I collagen mutation is associated with increased brittleness of long bones from Mov13 transgenic mice, a model of the mild form of Osteogenesis Imperfecta. In the current study,...
