A novel dominant COL11A1 mutation resulting in a severe skeletal dysplasia.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the type XI collagen alpha-1 chain gene (COL11A1) cause a change in protein structure that alters its interactions with collagens II and V, resulting in abnormalities in cartilage and ocular vitreous. The most common type XI collagenopathies are dominantly inherited Stickler or Marshall syndromes, while severe recessive skeletal dysplasias, such as fibrochondrogenesis, occur less frequently. We...
