Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUNDS: SERPINF1 mutations caused deficiency of pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) and would lead to osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) type VI. However, serum PEDF levels were unclear in Chinese OI patients who had clear molecular diagnosis. OBJECTIVE: To assess PEDF levels in different genotypes of OI, to evaluate the influencing factors of PEDF in Chinese OI patients with clear molecular diagnosis....
