Journal ArticleDOI

Prolyl 3-hydroxylase 1 deficiency causes a recessive metabolic bone disorder resembling lethal/severe osteogenesis imperfecta

TL;DR: The first five cases of a new recessive bone disorder resulting from null LEPRE1 alleles are presented; its phenotype overlaps with lethal/severe osteogenesis imperfecta but has distinctive features and a mutant allele from West Africa occurs in four of five cases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Homozygosity for a Missense Mutation in SERPINH1, which Encodes the Collagen Chaperone Protein HSP47, Results in Severe Recessive Osteogenesis Imperfecta

TL;DR: Findings suggest that HSP47 monitors the integrity of the triple helix of type I procollagen at the ER/cis-Golgi boundary and, when absent, the rate of transit from the ER to the Golgi is increased and helical structure is compromised.
Journal ArticleDOI

Articular cartilage collagen: an irreplaceable framework?

TL;DR: New evidence is presented that collagen type III becomes covalently added to the polymeric fabric of adult human articular cartilage, perhaps as part of a matrix repair or remodelling process.
