skeleton
• 50-80% of mice develop fibrous dysplasia that progresses from an initial stage in which excess primary bone formation occurs at endosteal surfaces and within medullary cavities, to an intermediate stage during which enhanced remodeling occurs, and a final stage during which marrow fibrosis and overall architectural subversion are established
• lesions in the tail vertebrae first appear at 3 months of age
• multiple lesions develop at other skeletal sites, resulting in a polyostotic pattern of skeletal disease
• however, mice exhibit normal bone development and embryonic bone cell differentiation
|
• spontaneous fractures of tail vertebrae in 7.3% of mice between 12 and 18 months
