Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia and pseudoachondroplasia due to novel mutations in the calmodulin-like repeats of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein.

Abstract excerpt

A child with a mild form of pseudoachondroplasia was heterozygous for a deletion of 12 nucleotides from exon 10 of the cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) gene. It resulted in the deletion of valine 513 to lysine 516 from the eighth calmodulin-like repeat of COMP monomers. A child with the Fairbank's type of multiple epiphyseal dysplasia was also heterozygous for a COMP mutation. It substituted cysteine...
