Abstract excerpt
We reviewed clinical and biochemical findings from 132 probands with nonlethal forms of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) whose fibroblasts were sent to the University of Washington for diagnostic studies in the years 1981-87. In cells from 86% of probands with nonlethal OI we identified biochemical alterations compatible with heterozygosity for a mutation that affected expression or structure of alpha chains of type...
