Abstract excerpt
To determine if some individuals with deforming varieties of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) carry point mutations in the COL1A2 gene of type-I collagen, we examined collagens synthesized by cell strains from affected individuals for the presence of cysteine in the triple helical domain of the alpha 2 (I) chain, a domain from which it is normally excluded. We identified 4 individuals out of 60 whose cells...
