We studied a family with severe primary osteoporosis carrying a heterozygous p.Arg8Phefs*14 deletion in COL1A2, leading to haploinsufficiency. Three affected individuals carried the mutation and presented nearly identical spinal fractures but lacked other typical features of either osteogenesis imperfecta or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Although mutations leading to haploinsufficiency in COL1A2 are rare, mutations in...
