Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) type V is a rare heritable bone disorder caused by pathogenic variants of IFITM5. Only two mutated alleles in IFITM5 have been identified worldwide, the role of which in OI pathology is not fully understood. METHODS: A neonatal case of suspected OI, clinically manifested as a rare clavicle transection fracture with delayed early fracture healing, was studied. Subtle...
