Abstract excerpt
A child with typical spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita had a recurrent, heterozygous substitution of arginine 789 by cysteine in the triple helical domain of alpha 1 (II) chains of type II collagen. The amino substitution was due to the transition of cytosine 2913 to thymine in exon 41 of th...
