Abstract excerpt
The clinical diagnosis of a patient with the phenotype of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VI was confirmed biochemically by the severely diminished level of lysyl hydroxylase (LH) activity in the patient's skin fibroblasts. A novel homozygous mutation, a single base change of T(1360)-->G in exon 13 of the LH1 gene, predicted to result in W446G, was identified in the patient's full-length cDNA. This was confirmed in...
