Abstract excerpt
Stickler syndrome is one of the milder phenotypes resulting from mutations in the gene that encodes type-II collagen, COL2A1. All COL2A1 mutations known to cause Stickler syndrome result in the formation of a premature termination codon within the type-II collagen gene. COL2A1 has 10 in-frame CGA codons, which can mutate to TGA STOP codons via a methylation-deamination mechanism. We have analyzed these sites in...
