The mammalian mandibular condyle is composed of secondary cartilage and may thus be susceptible to genes causing achondroplasia and which result in abnormal++ primary cartilage formation. This paper describes the secondary cartilage in the mandible of the stumpy achondroplastic mutation in the mouse: both primary and secondary cartilage are affected by the gene.
哺乳动物的下颌髁由继发性软骨组成,因此可能易受导致软骨发育不全并致使初级软骨形成异常的基因影响。本文描述了小鼠短粗型软骨发育不全突变体下颌骨中的继发性软骨:初级软骨和继发性软骨均受该基因影响。
