Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) type VI is a rare inherited disorder of the connective tissue caused by pathogenic variants in SERPINF1 gene, which encodes the pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF). PEDF is implicated in many biologic processes, including an anti-cancer role. This information is supported by in vitro and in vivo studies that evidenced its anti-angiogenic, anti-tumorigenic, and anti-metastatic...
