The WNT1 G177C mutation specifically affects skeletal integrity in a mouse model of osteogenesis imperfecta type XV

Abstract The recent identification of homozygous WNT1 mutations in individuals with osteogenesis imperfecta type XV (OI-XV) has suggested that WNT1 is a key ligand promoting the differentiation and function of bone-forming osteoblasts. Although such an influence was supported by subsequent studies,...
