We have identified an 18 bp deletion in exon 49 of the type II procollagen gene (COL2A1) in a patient with Kniest dysplasia. The deletion is located at the very C-terminus of the helical domain and removes two of three Gly-Pro-Pro triplets at positions 1007-1012, which are thought to be involved in helix formation and stability. Morphological investigation of an iliac crest biopsy showed large inclusions in the endoplasmic reticulum of chondrocytes, reflecting impaired secretion of type II collagen. Electrophoretic analysis of collagens extracted from cartilage or synthesised by cultured chondrocytes showed that type II and also type XI procollagen molecules containing mutant alpha 1 (II) chains showed post-translational overmodification. These observations provide further evidence for the general association of Kniest dysplasia with small deletions in the helical domain of type II collagen.
我们在一名患有克尼斯发育异常的患者中,鉴定出II型前胶原基因(COL2A1)第49外显子存在一个18bp的缺失。该缺失位于螺旋结构域的最C末端,去除了1007 - 1012位三个甘氨酸 - 脯氨酸 - 脯氨酸三联体中的两个,这些三联体被认为与螺旋形成和稳定性有关。髂嵴活检的形态学研究显示软骨细胞内质网中有大量包涵体,反映出II型胶原分泌受损。对从软骨中提取或由培养的软骨细胞合成的胶原进行电泳分析表明,含有突变α1(II)链的II型以及XI型前胶原分子显示出翻译后过度修饰。这些观察结果为克尼斯发育异常与II型胶原螺旋结构域中的小缺失普遍相关提供了进一步证据。
