Abstract excerpt
Cultured skin fibroblasts from a proband with a lethal form of osteogenesis imperfecta produce two forms of type I collagen chains, with normal and delayed electrophoretic migration; collagen of the proband's mother was normal. Peptide mapping experiments localized the structural defect in the proband to alpha1(I) CB8 peptide in which residues 123 to 402 are spaned. Direct sequencing of amplified cDNA covering...
