Abstract excerpt
Type X collagen is a homotrimer of alpha 1(X) chains encoded by the COL10A1 gene. It is a highly specialized extracellular matrix component, and its synthesis is restricted to hypertrophic chondrocytes in the calcifying cartilage of the growth plate and in zones of secondary ossification. Our studies on a family with Schmid metaphyseal chondrodysplasia demonstrated that the affected individuals were heterozygous...
