Down
- 1. A group of genetic disorders in which biosynthesis of type I collagen is defective.
- 2. Heterogeneous group of genetic disorders characterized by stretchy skin and loose joints.
- 3. oxidative deamination of LYS with the participation of oxidases and subsequent intermolecular condensation of 4-aldehyde groups take place,which forms a special type intermolecular cross-links
