HomozygousHeterozygous
Mutation positions are assigned according to collagen α2(XI) chain precursor (UniProt P13942); numbers in parenthesis are used in previous studies.
*Compound heterozygotes.
†Mutation identified in this study.
‡Reported in the heterozygous state in a person with non-syndromic cleft palate deformity; the father of the proband also carries R177X but has no cleft palate deformity, suggesting either variable penetrance or another aetiology for the isolated non-syndromic cleft palate deformity in this family.
OSMED, otospondylomegaepiphyseal dysplasia; WZS, Weissenbacher–Zweymuller syndrome (similar to non-ocular Stickler syndrome).
