38
Q

Q

Mutations in CRTAP cause defective 3-prolyl-hydroxylation which delays

A

collagen folding

40
Q

Type 7 OI is caused by a

A

41
Q

CRTAP null mutations result in a

A

severe lethal form OI (similar to type II)

42
Q

Prolyl 3-hydroxylase 1 deficiency causes a recessive metabolic bone
disorder resembling

A

lethal/severe osteogenesis imperfecta

43
Q

For patients with inherited diseases, you should first look for mutations
in genes already known to cause

A

similar phenotypes

44
Q

For patients with inherited diseases, you should first look for mutations
in genes already known to cause

A

similar phenotypes

45
Q

Then it is often worthwhile to look for mutations in genes of proteins that interact with the known gene or that may be working in the same

A

biochemical pathway

46
Q

What if you have two diseases with phenotypes that are very similar, but which have been associated with completely different genes?
It may be worthwhile to do experiments to determine whether these genes interact in a

A

common biochemical pathway

47
Q

OI can be caused by mutations in (2)

type I collagen genes or in genes encoding proteins involved in collagen post-translational
modifications/ regulation of collagen biosynthesis
