Abstract excerpt
Type I collagen chains of a proband from a family with recurrent lethal osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) migrated as a doublet when submitted to gel electrophoresis. Cyanogen bromide (CNBr) peptide mapping demonstrated that the post-translational over-modifications were initiated in alpha 1ICB7. Chemical cleavage of cDNA-RNA heteroduplexes identified a mismatch in the alpha 1I cDNA; this mismatch was subsequently...
