Abstract excerpt
We determined that two siblings with type III osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) had the same single base substitution that converted the codon for glycine (Gly) 862 to a codon for serine (Ser) in exon 44 of the alpha 1 chain of the type I (alpha 1(I)) collagen gene (COL1A1). The mutation was also detected in various paternal tissues; the mutant allele accounted for approximately 11% of the COL1A1 alleles in blood, 24%...
