## Clinical Data on Patients KO was 35 years of age at the time her cell strain was sent to us. She was born to healthy unrelated parents and has two healthy siblings, both of whom have unaffected children, and no other individuals with 0 1 were identified in the family. She had many fractures at
In general, osteogenesis imperfecta is caused by heterozygous mutations in either of the genes encoding the alpha 1 or alpha 2 chains of type I collagen (COL1A1 and COL1A2, respectively). Usually, these mutations are unique to the affected individual or individuals within a family. In this study, si
To determine if some individuals with deforming varieties of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) carry point mutations in the COL1A2 gene of type-I collagen, we examined collagens synthesized by cell strains from affected individuals for the presence of cysteine in the triple helical domain of the alpha 2
