• evident at 1 month of age and becoming worse with age
|
• evident at 1 month of age and becoming worse with age
|
• at 1 month of age, mice exhibit dextro- and levoscoliosis that becomes worse with age unlike in wild-type mice
|
• in the cortical bone of the femur, tibia, and humerus
|
• Ashing analysis showed decreased bone mineral density in the humerus
|
• cortical bone mineral density is significantly reduced in the femur
|
• in the medular cavity of the tibia
|
• mice exhibit increased cortical porosity in the femur compared with wild-type mice
|
• in the tibia
|
• mice exhibit decreased trabecular spacing in the medular cavity of the tibia compared to in wild-type mice
|
• in the medular cavity of the tibia

osteomalacia
(
J:173678
)
• in the trabecular bone
|
• at P10, some mice exhibit a complete absence of secondary ossification centers unlike wild-type mice
|
• from P1, mice develop greenstick fractures in vertebrae and hind and fore limbs unlike wild-type mice
|
• chondrocytes exhibit reduced mineralizing ability compared with wild-type cells
• chondrocyte-derived matrix vesicles exhibit reduced calcification ability compared with wild-type vesicles

|
homeostasis/metabolism
• transiently at P10
|
