Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Deficiency of cartilage-associated protein (CRTAP) can cause extremely rare autosomal recessive osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) type VII.

METHODS: Two nonconsanguineous families with CRTAP mutations were included and their phenotypes and genotypes were evaluated. Bone specimens were...
