Abstract excerpt
Heterozygous COL2A1 mutations create a group of skeletal dysplasias collectively termed type II collagenopathies. Sporadic cases of type II collagenopathies are almost exclusively caused by de novo mutations. Very few cases with intrafamilial recurrence due to germinal mosaicism have been known. We report here on a family in which a severe form of skeletal dysplasia was recurrent in two sibs whose phenotype was...
