Abstract excerpt
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare connective tissue disorder with clinical and genetic heterogeneity. The cardinal features of OI are bone fragility and low bone mineral density (BMD). Pathogenic variants in COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes, which encode the proα-1(I) and proα-2(I) chains of Type 1 collagen, are the most common causes of OI. Mutations disrupting the carboxy-terminal propeptide cleavage site of the...
