Tendon and Motor Phenotypes in the <i> Crtap <sup>-/-</sup> </i> Mouse Model of Recessive Osteogenesis Imperfecta
2020-04-22
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is characterized by short stature, skeletal deformities, low bone mass with bone fragility, and motor deficits. A subset of OI patients also present with joint hypermobility; however, the role of tendon/ligament dysfunction in OI pathogenesis is largely unknown. Using the Crtap -/- mouse model of severe, recessive OI, we found that mutant Achilles tendons and patell...
