A missense mutation in ColA1 in Jewish Israeli patient with mild osteogenesis imperfecta, detected by DGGE.

Abstract excerpt

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) underlies germline mutations in either Col1A1 or Col1A2. Here we describe, for the first time, the use of the denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) technique for mutation analysis of the Col1A1 gene. By employing this technique, we identified a point mutation in a young Jewish Israeli patient with mild OI. The missense mutation, a G to A alteration at position 888, result in...
