We report the first deletion mutation and the first splicing defect in the lysyl hydroxylase gene in a compound heterozygote patient with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VI with markedly reduced lysyl hydroxylase activity. Northern analysis of the RNA isolated from skin fibroblasts of the patient demons
