Abnormal dermal proteoglycan in aspartylglycosaminuria: a possible mechanism for ultrastructural changes of collagen fibrils in a glycoprotein storage disorder.

abstract：:A high frequency restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) at the 3'-end of the pigeon pro alpha 2(1) collagen gene was detected using the restriction endonuclease EcoR1. The distribution of this allelic variant was analyzed in DNA isolated from White Carneau pigeons genetically susceptible to the development of...
