Collagen triple helices are stabilized by 4-hydroxyproline residues. No function is known for the much less common 3-hydroxyproline (3Hyp), although genetic defects inhibiting its formation cause recessive osteogenesis imperfecta. To help understand the pathogenesis, we used mass spectrometry to identify

To develop an evidence-based algorithm for determining the etiology of bilateral sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in a child. The frequency of different etiologies was previously determined. A systematic review of the literature for articles published between 1940 and January 2003
Recessive mutations that prevent 3-hydroxyproline formation in type I collagen have been shown to cause forms of osteogenesis imperfecta. In mammals, all A-clade collagen chains with a GPP sequence at the A1 site (P986), except α1(III), have 3Hyp at residue

Because disturbed conformation of connective tissue proteins can be accompanied by increased racemization (i.e., an increased ratio of dextrorotatory (D) to levorotatory (L) amino acid molecules), we studied by high-performance liquid chromatography the renal excretion of the D-form of the

Alport's syndrome is characterised by morphological and structural changes of the renal basement membranes. As the hydroxyproline content of isolated glomerular basement membranes is reduced in patients with Alport's syndrome, it is possible that the renal excretion of 3-hydroxproline (3-OHP)
