Abstract excerpt
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a result of heterozygous mutations in the COL1A1 or COL1A2 genes, encoding type I procollagen chains. Here we described the molecular and biochemical defects detected in a case of severe type III OI. Cultured skin fibroblasts from the proband produced both normal and mutant type I collagen which was secreted into the medium. The mutation site was localized in alpha 1(I)-CB3 by CNBr...
