Abstract excerpt
We have characterized a patient with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VI as a compound heterozygote for the lysyl hydroxylase (LH) gene, with a pathogenetic mutation in each allele contributing to the very low levels of mRNA and LH activity in his fibroblasts. Amplification of full-length LH cDNAs resulted in normal-sized (2.9-kb) and shortened (2.8-kb) transcripts indicative of two populations of alleles. One allele...
