Lef1 haploinsufficient mice display a low turnover and low bone mass phenotype in a gender- and age-specific manner.

Lef1 haploinsufficient mice display a low turnover and low bone mass phenotype in a gender- and age-specific manner.

We investigated the role of Lef1, one of the four transcription factors that transmit Wnt signaling to the genome, in the regulation of bone mass. Microcomputed tomographic analysis of 13- and 17-week-old mice revealed significantly reduced trabecular bone mass in Lef1(+/-) females compared to litte...
