Abstract excerpt
A child with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita was shown to be heterozygous for a mutation of the COL2A1 gene that encodes the alpha 1 (II) chain of type II collagen. The alpha 1 (II) chains extracted from cartilage contained disulfide-bonded dimeric and trimeric alpha 1 (II) chains. Carboxymethylation confirmed that some of the type II collagen chains contained cysteine residues that are not normally...
