Abstract excerpt
An autosomal dominant mutation in the COL2A1 gene was identified in a child with the Kniest form of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia. A C to T transition at nucleotide 35 of exon 12 changed the codon GCG for alanine 102 of the triple helical domain of alpha 1(II) chains of type-II collagen to GTG for valine. The transition also introduced a GT dinucleotide into exon 12. Analysis of cDNA prepared from Kniest cartilage...
