Skeletal pathologies caused by PLS3 inactivation are predominantly associated with impaired cortical bone integrity.
The identification of pathogenic PLS3 variants in individuals with X-linked osteoporosis (XLO) has demonstrated the importance of the actin-bundling protein plastin-3 for skeletal integrity. We and others have previously reported that Pls3-deficient mice display a skeletal phenotype that unexpectedly affects only the c...
