A substitution of arginine for glycine at amino acid position 154 of the al(1) collagen chain was found in a father and his three children. The phenotype of the patients includes manifestations of types I and IIUIV osteogenesis imperfecta, but appears to be milder than that of the previously describ

A young girl presented with severe type 111 osteogenesis imperfecta; her otherwise healthy mother also had a mild connective tissue disorder with blue sclerae and recurrent joint dislocations.

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a generalized disorder of connective tissue characterized by fragile bones and easy susceptibility to fracture. Most cases of OI are caused by mutations in type I collagen. We have identified and assembled structural mutations in type I collagen genes (COL1A1 and COL1
Communicated by Cha& I. Epstein More than 150 mutations in the genes for type I procollagein have been found in unrelated patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (01), but mutations have been difficult to define in many patients with the mildest forms of the disease. Here, we have used robotically aut
