Abstract excerpt
We have used the polymerase chain reaction and single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) methods to analyse the COL10A1 gene, which encodes collagen type X, in DNA samples from patients with metaphyseal dysplasia type Schmid (SMCD) and other related forms of metaphyseal dysplasia. Five cases of SMCD were sporadic and three others were familial. Abnormal SSCP profiles were observed in six instances. In two...
