Abstract excerpt
A splicing mutation in the pro-alpha 2(I) collagen gene of a patient with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VII has been characterized. Protein microsequencing of peptides prepared from the patient's dermal collagen identified an interstitial deletion of 18 residues. The deleted segment corresponds to the amino-terminal telopeptide junction domain encoded by the sixth exon of the pro-alpha 2(I) collagen gene....
