Tibial plateau fracture and RNA sequencing with osteogenesis imperfecta: a case report.

Abstract excerpt

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a hereditary skeletal dysplasia with an incidence of approximately 1:15,000 to 20,000. OI is usually caused by the mutation of COL1A1 and COL1A2, which would encode the α-chain of type I collagen.
