Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is mainly characterized by bone fragility and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) by connective tissue defects. Mutations in COL1A1 or COL1A2 can lead to both syndromes. OI/EDS overlap syndrome is mostly caused by helical mutations near the amino-proteinase cleavage site of type I procollagen. In this study, we identified a Thai patient having OI type III, EDS, brachydactyly, and...
