Type I collagen alpha 1(I) glycine to serine substitutions, resulting from G-to-A mutations, were defined in three cases of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). The Gly substitutions displayed a gradient of phenotypic severity according to the location of the mutation in the collagen triple helix. The most C-terminal of these, Gly565 to Ser, led to the lethal perinatal (type II) form of OI, whereas the more N-terminal mutations, Gly415 and Gly352 to Ser, led to severe OI (type III/IV) and moderate OI… CONTINUE READING
