Abstract excerpt
The molecular basis for Osteogenesis Imperfecta in a large kindred with a highly variable phenotype was identified by sequencing the mutant pro alpha 1 (I) protein, cDNA and genomic DNA from the proband. Fibroblasts from different affected individuals all synthesize both normal Type I procollagen...
