Type X collagen is a short chain collagen expressed in hypertrophic chondrocytes during bone growth. A 13bp deletion has been shown to segregate with Schmid metaphyseal chondrodysplasia, an autosomal dominant disorder of the osseous skeleton, in a large Mormon kindred. To increase our understanding of the role type X collagen plays in development we have used SSCP analysis to identify three additional mutations...
