Mouse Models Mouse genes which provide a model for Osteoporosis when knocked out
[C-abl oncogene 1 non-receptor tyrosine kinase, a Ras GTPase activator that acts in NF-kB cascade, G2-M checkpoint, antiapoptosis, B-cell
differentiation, and cell migration; human ABL1 is associated with leukemias and lymphomas
[Amphiregulin, a growth factor that mediates EGFR pathway, DNA replication, oocyte maturation, and antiapoptosis, acts in plasminogen
activation and wound healing; human AREG is associated with asthma, HIV infection, psoriasis, myeloma, and several cancers
[Beta 2-microglobulin, acts in antigen processing and presentation, mating behavior, and chemotaxis, regulates IL-2 production; human B2M is
associated with AIDS, Crohn Disease, Hemophilia A and B, nervous and digestive system diseases, and several cancers
[Biglycan, a structural constituent of the extracellular matrix that acts in collagen fibrillogenesis and muscle contraction; human BGN is
associated with muscular dystrophy, Alzheimer disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, and coronary artery disease
[Bone morphogenetic protein 3, a receptor binding protein that acts in cell-cell signaling, myeloid cell differentiation, organ morphogenesis, and
skeletal development; human BMP3 is upregulated in myeloid metaplasia

BACKGROUND UK and international guidelines suggest the management of hayfever should start with allergen avoidance and if that fails, treatment with an antihistamine. Where these treatments are ineffective, regular intranasal corticosteroids should be used. Intranasal steroids are more effective if used at the start of the season and in the presence of established nasal congestion, a topical
