The growth of femur and tibia in three genetically distinct chondrodystrophic mutants of the house mouse. 1978

D R Johnson

Growth of femora and tibiae has been measured in mice carrying three distinct chondrodystrophic mutants (achondroplasia cn, brachymorphic bm and stumpy stm) aged 6--128 days, and in normal litter-mates. cn and bm resemble each other in growing slowly until the time of weaning, when growth is interrupted, stm grows strongly at first, but stops at around 14 days. The significance of these findings is discussed.

D000130	Achondroplasia	An autosomal dominant disorder that is the most frequent form of short-limb dwarfism. Affected individuals exhibit short stature caused by rhizomelic shortening of the limbs, characteristic facies with frontal bossing and mid-face hypoplasia, exaggerated lumbar lordosis, limitation of elbow extension, GENU VARUM, and trident hand.

D000367	Age Factors	Age as a constituent element or influence contributing to the production of a result. It may be applicable to the cause or the effect of a circumstance. It is used with human or animal concepts but should be differentiated from AGING, a physiological process, and TIME FACTORS which refers only to the passage of time.
