Rare splicing mutation in COL1A1 gene identified by whole exomes sequencing in a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta type I followed by prenatal diagnosis: A case report and review of the literature.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare disease characterized by increased bone fragility and predisposition to fractures, bone deformities and other major signs such as dentinogenesis imperfecta, blue sclera and deafness. Over 90% of OI cases are caused by mutations in the COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes and the inheritance is autosomal dominant. METHODS: We present a case of a couple requesting genetic...
