Abstract excerpt
Mice were generated by pronuclear injection of a type II collagen transgene harboring an Arg789Cys (R789C) mutation that has been found in patients with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia (SED). Expression was directed to cartilage by the murine Col2a1 promoter to examine the consequences of mutations involving the Y-position of the collagen helix Gly-X-Y triplet on skeletogenesis. The transgenic mice had very short...
