Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a collagen-related bone dysplasia leading to a susceptibility to fractures. OI can be caused by mutations in several genes including BMP1. It encodes two isoforms, bone morphogenetic protein 1 (BMP1) and mammalian tolloid (mTLD); both have proteolytic activity to remove the C-propeptide from procollagen. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a Thai OI patient who had his first...
