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. Skin fibroblast cultures from the child produced both normal and post-translationally overmodified type I c
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 heterozygous mutation in the COL2A1 gene was identified in a patient with hypochondrogenesis. The mutation was a single nucleotide transition of G3285T that resulted in an amino acid substitution of Cys for Gly9I3 in the al(I1) chain of type I1 collagen. This amino acid change disrupted the obliga
