Abstract excerpt
Dermal fibroblasts from a fetus with perinatal lethal osteogenesis imperfecta synthesized normal and abnormal type I procollagen molecules. The abnormal molecules contained one or two pro alpha 1(I) chains in which glycine, alanine, and hydroxyproline at positions 874, 875, and 876 in the triple-helical region were deleted as the result of a 9-base pair genomic deletion. Molecules that contained abnormal chains...
