Abstract excerpt
The type I procollagen carboxyterminal(C-)propeptides are crucial in directing correct assembly of the procollagen heterotrimers. Defects in these domains have anecdotally been reported in patients with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) and few genotype-phenotype correlations have been described. To gain insight in the functional consequences of C-propeptide defects, we performed a systematic review of clinical,...
