Abstract excerpt
This study describes the relative contribution of the 10 cysteine residues in lysyl hydroxylase 1 (LH1) to enzyme activity. We have identified a novel mutation of a 15-bp deletion in exon 11 in one LH1 allele, that codes for amino acids 367-371 (DLCRQ), in two unrelated compound heterozygous patients with Ehlers-Danlos type VI. The mutations in their other alleles were a C1119T change (exon 10) and a predicted...
