R51Q SNX10 induces osteopetrosis by promoting uncontrolled fusion of monocytes to form giant, non-functional osteoclasts
2018-05-28
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> The molecular mechanisms that regulate fusion of monocytes into functional osteoclasts are virtually unknown. We describe a knock-in mouse model for the R51Q mutation in sorting nexin 10 (SNX10) that exhibits osteopetrosis and related symptoms of patients of autosomal recessive osteopetrosis linked to this mutation. Osteopetrosis arises in homozygous R51Q SNX10 mice due to a unique combination of...
