HOUSTON, Texas, June 27 (TNSres) -- The Baylor College of Medicine issued the following news:
A study conducted by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions reveals the molecular events leading to osteogenesis imperfecta type V, a form of brittle bone disease caused by a mutation in the gene IFITM5.
The mutation blocks the normal development of bone stem cells into mature cells, which would form healthy bones. Instead, the mutation leads t . . .
