• in vitro, E18.5 calvarial cells cultured osteogenic medium show an intermediate defect in osteoblast development, as determined by bone nodule formation and alkaline phosphatase activity
|
• at E18.5
|
• reduced ossification of hyoid bone at E18.5
• however, the volume and other quantified bone mineral parameters of femurs are not statistically altered
|
• at E18.5, delay in the formation of calvaria is intermediate between that of wild-type and homozygous mutant mice
