Abstract excerpt
DNA sequencing is a reliable tool for identifying genetic variants in osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) but cannot always establish pathogenicity, particularly in variants altering splicing. RNA sequencing can provide functional evidence of the effect of a variant on the transcript but requires cells expressing the relevant genes. Here, we used urine-derived cells (UDC) to characterize genetic variants in patients...
