Abstract
Growth of femora and tibiae was measured in mice carrying 3 distinct chondrodystrophic mutants (achondroplasia cn, brachymorphic bm and stumpy stm) aged 6-128 days and in normal litter-mates. The cn and bm [mouse] resemble each other in growing slowly until the time of weaning, when growth in interrupted. The stm [mouse] grows strongly at first, but stops at around 14 days. The significance of these findings is discussed.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
