New Structural and Single Nucleotide Mutations in Type I and Type II Collagens in Taiwanese Children With Type I and Type II Collagenopathies
pubmed: wnt1 2021-09-03
Summary:
Collagenopathy is a rare genetic condition characterized by abnormality in either collagen structure or metabolism. Variations in its clinical presentations highlight diversity in the genetic causes and potential existence of concurrent mutations. Through whole exome sequencing (WES) complemented with multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification, we identified the genetic etiologies for six cases with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) in COL1A1 (p.T1298N, p.Q1280Pfs^(∗)51, and p.G557Vfs^(∗)23)...
