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
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a congenital disease of connective tissue, most often caused by single amino acid substitutions of glycine residues within the triple helical region of collagen I. Collagen I consists of two alpha 1 chains and one alpha 2 chain. Thus, a substitution in the alpha 1(I)
