Abstract:
:A 3-month-old male infant with type I Klein-Waardenburg syndrome with an imperforated anus and a perineal fistula is reported. The possible association of this gastrointestinal malformation with the KW syndrome is discussed.

杂志文章abstract:BACKGROUND:Recessive forms of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) may be caused by mutations in LEPRE1, encoding prolyl 3-hydroxylase-1 (P3H1) or in CRTAP, encoding cartilage associated protein. These proteins constitute together with cyclophilin B (CyPB) the prolyl 3-hydroxylation complex that hydroxylates the Pro986 residue...
