Type I collagen chains of a proband from a family with recurrent lethal osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) migrated as a doublet when submitted to gel electrophoresis. Cyanogen bromide (CNBr) peptide mapping demonstrated that the post-translational over-modifications were initiated in alpha 1ICB7. Chemica

✦ Synopsis
Communicated by Peter H. Byers We describe a dominant point mutation in the C O L l A l gene causing extremely severe osteogenesis imperfecta (01 type IMII) which was detected in the dermal fibroblasts of a proband, diagnosed by ultrasonography at 24 weeks of gestation. Type I collagen secretion was reduced and procul(1) chains were overmodified. The mutation was localised in one C O L l A l allele by chemical cleavage of mismatched bases in normal cDNNproband's mRNA heteroduplexes, and identified by cloning and sequencing. A G-to-A transition which causes the substitution of Gly-415 with serine in the cul(1) triple helical domain was found. The same mutation was detected in the father's spermatozoa and lymphocytes. Mosaicism in the father's germline explains the Occurrence in the family of two additional 01 pregnancies, which were documented by X-ray and ultrasound investigations.

Previous observations on mutations causing osteogenesis imperfecta (0I) suggested that unrelated patients had private mutations. Here preliminary studies on two patients with type I OI indicated that some mutations in the COL1A1 gene for type I procollagen cannot be detected by analyses of cDNAs. Th
