ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Mice overexpressing Runx2 in osteoblasts have an abnormally low number of osteocytes in cortical bone
  • Runx2-null mice die at birth lacking a mineralized skeleton, and are in a hypothyroid state
  • Runx2 haploinsufficient mice mimic features of human cleidocranial dysplasia in that they present with hypoplastic clavicles and delayed cranial suture development with persistent fontanels in the calvaria
