You can start with these:

Bychkova, V.E. & Ptitsyn, O.B. "Folding intermediates are involved in 
genetic diseases?"
      FEBS lett. 359, 6-8 (1995)

Thomas, P.J., Qu, B-H. & Pedersen, P.L. "Defective protein folding as a
 basis of human disease"
      TIBS 20, 456-459 (1995)

There are many references therein.
