Abstract excerpt
Autosomal dominant inheritance of a mild form of osteogenesis imperfecta (osteogenesis imperfecta type I) with different phenotypic expression was found in a family. Phenotypic expression was different for the affected mother and son, in the presence of the same biochemical results. Dermal fibroblast cultures synthesized normal and mutant type I collagen alpha chains. Collagen heterotrimers containing abnormal...
