Type V collagen transcripts of affected individuals were screened by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. Amplification of the exon 9-28 region of alpha1(V) yielded normal and larger products from the proband. Sequencing of cDNA revealed a 100-base pair insertion from the 3'-end of intron 13 between exons 13 and 14 in one allele. The genomic defect was identified as an A(-2)--\u003e G substitution at the exon 14 splice acceptor site. A cryptic acceptor site -100 nucleotide within intron 13 is used instead of the mutant splice site. The insertion shifts the reading frame +1 and results in a stop codon within exon 17. The mutant transcript was much less abundant than normal allele product in untreated cultured fibroblasts but was approximately equimolar in cycloheximide-treated cells, suggesting that the mutation causes nonsense-mediated decay of mRNA. By RNase protection experiments, the level of mutant transcript was determined to be 8% that of the normal transcript in untreated proband fibroblasts. Relative to type I collagen, proband fibroblasts secreted only 65% of the amount of type V collagen secreted by normal controls. Selective salt precipitation of proband secreted collagen provided supportive evidence that the alpha chain composition of type V collagen remains alpha1(V)(2)alpha2(V) even in the context of alpha1(V) haploinsufficiency. Type V collagen incorporates into type I collagen fibrils in the extracellular matrix and is thought to regulate fibril diameter. Transmission electron micrographs of type I collagen fibrils in a proband dermal biopsy showed greater heterogeneity in fibril diameter than in a matched control. The proband had a greater proportion of both larger and smaller fibrils and occasional fibrils with a cauliflower configuration.
