Abstract excerpt
The disease phenotype of oculo-skeletal dysplasia (OSD) detected in Labrador retrievers and Samoyeds shows a large degree of similarity with human Stickler and Kniest dysplasia. Type II collagen (COL2A1) mRNA, which is defective in a larger number of Stickler and Kniest patients, has been cloned and characterized from normal dog. The amino acid sequence of the canine type II procollagen is predicted to contain...
