A null-mutated lysyl hydroxylase gene in a compound heterozygote British patient with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VI.

Abstract excerpt

A British patient with EDS VI had two novel null mutations in the lysyl hydroxylase gene, one nucleotide deletion in the acceptor splice site of intron 4 in one allele, and an insertion of a C nucleotide in exon 2 of the other allele. The abnormal alleles lead to a markedly decreased lysyl hydroxylase mRNA levels, the finding making the affected cells different from the normal cells. In addition to the mutation...
