Used to study X-linked dominant hypophosphatemic rickets.
MGI Description
PHENOTYPE: Hemizygous males for an irradiation-induced X-linked deletion that disrupts both Sms and Phex genes show the hypophosphatemic rickets (found also in mice with lone Phex mutations) but also exhibit reduced viability, circling behavior, markedly reduced spermine content, and sterility.
