Abstract excerpt
Affected individuals from two apparently distinct, mild osteogenesis imperfecta families were heterozygous for a G to T transition in the COL1A2 gene that resulted in cysteine for glycine substitutions at position 646 in the alpha 2(I) chain of type I collagen. A child with a moderately severe form of osteogenesis imperfecta was heterozygous for a G to T transition that resulted in a substitution of cysteine for...
