Abstract excerpt
This report describes the biochemical investigations on six patients affected by a moderate form of Osteogenesis Imperfecta (type IV according to the Sillence classification). Biochemical characterization of type I collagen produced by skin fibroblasts showed considerable heterogeneity: in three patients out of six, collagen appeared normal; while in the three others a structural defect in the protein was...
