Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: This paper will illustrate how variation in the processing of mutant pre-mRNA can affect the phenotypic outcome of inherited disorders of type II collagen. METHODS: Type 1 Stickler's syndrome is one of the different phenotypes resulting from mutations in COL2A1 (the type II collagenopathies). It is also the commonest, but often goes undiagnosed due to the variability of phenotypic features, which in some...
