Spina bifida-predisposing heterozygous mutations in Planar Cell Polarity genes and Zic2 reduce bone mass in young mice
Journal Article
Orriss, I. R., Lanham, S. A., Savery, D., Greene, N. D. E., Stanier, P., Oreffo, R., Copp, A. J., & Galea, G. L. (in press). Spina bifida-predisposing heterozygous mutations in Planar Cell Polarity genes and Zic2 reduce bone mass in young mice. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-21718-x

Fractures are a common comorbidity in children with the neural tube defect (NTD) spina bifida. Mutations in the Wnt/planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway contribute to NTDs in humans and mice, but whether this pathway independently determines bone mass...
