Abstract excerpt
Non-lethal OI III (OMIM 259420) is caused by structural aberrations of collagen I. We report four novel glycine substitutions, one in the a1 (I) chain of collagen I (G688S) and three in the a2 (I) chain (G241D, G247C, G883V). In each of two families (G241D and G883V), we found parental mosaicism for the substitution explaining recurrence and intrafamilial variability of OI. The G247C and the G883V are the most...
