AbstractCultured dermal fibroblasts were shown, using amplification of cDNA by the polymerase chain reaction, to produce very low levels of spliced transcripts from the COL2A1 gene that encodes the cartilage-specific α1(II) chains of type II collagen. Cultured lymphoblastoid cells were also shown to produce very low levels of spliced transcripts from the COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes that encode the α1(I) and α2(I) chains of type I collagen, the COL2A1 gene that encodes type II collagen, and the COL3A1 gene that encodes the α1(III) chains of type III collagen. Amplified cDNAs prepared from lymphoblastoid cells were used to identify previously characterized heterozygous mutations in the COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes from two patients with osteogenesis imperfecta and in the COL3A1 gene from a patient with the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV. Amplified α1(II) cDNA from fibroblasts and lymphoblastoid cells of a child with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita was also used to localize sequence mismatches using chemical modification of cDNA:cDNA heteroduplexes by hydroxylamine and cleavage with piperidine. The amplification products containing the mismatched region were sequenced and the mutation was shown to change the codon GGC for glycine 997 to AGC for serine in the triple helical domain of the α1(II) chains. The corresponding region of the genomic DNA was sequenced and the heterozygous point mutation was shown to be in exon 48 of the COL2A1 gene. Allelic restriction mapping showed that neither parent carried the mutation in their leucocytes. This mutation emphasizes the importance of COL2A1 mutations in producing the spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia phenotype. The low basal rate of transcription (''illegitimate transcription''), splicing, and polyadenylation of tissue-specific mRNAs by cultured dermal fibroblasts and lymphoblastoid cells provides the opportunity to localize and sequence mutations in amplified cDNA in patients from whom affected tissue is unavailable.
