Abstract excerpt
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a group of diseases caused by defects in type I collagen processing which result in skeletal fragility. While these disorders have been regarded as defects in osteoblast function, the role of matrix-embedded osteocytes in OI pathogenesis remains largely unknown. Homozygous human SP7 (c.946 C > T, R316C) mutation results in a recessive form of OI characterized by fragility...
