Genetic Collagen Diseases: Influence of Collagen Mutations on Structure and Mechanical Behavior

  • Chapter
Collagen

Abstract

Mutations in type I collagen as well as those in the enzymes involved in the processing of type I collagen and in proteins that associate with type I collagen have significant effects on the structure and mechanical properties of the collagen-containing tissues. Osteogenesis imperfecta, also known as “brittle bone disease” provides an illustration of how site-specific mutations and alterations can affect tissue integrity. Examples of other type I collagen diseases are also discussed.
