Abstract excerpt
Molecular investigations on a young patient and her family were undertaken to identify the molecular defect responsible for a mild form of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) with blue sclerae, dentinogenesis imperfecta and joint laxity. Analysis of collagenous proteins from the proband's fibroblasts showed the presence of two populations of alpha 2(I) chains, one normal and one migrating faster on SDS gels, thereby...
