Abstract excerpt
Clinical and biochemical findings in 5 unrelated patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) with a serine for glycine substitution in the alpha2(I) collagen chain are presented. The data are compared to other serine substitutions in collagen type I. Findings show that the phenotypic severity of serine for glycine substitutions in the alpha2(I) collagen chain is region dependent similar to the observations for the...
