Abstract excerpt
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disorder characterized by bone fragility and frequent fractures. The disorder is caused by pathogenic variants in genes that encode type I collagen. The COL1A1 gene encodes the pro-α1(I) collagen chain, which assembles with another pro-α1(I) chain and one pro-α2(I) chain to form a heterotrimeric triple helix. The C-terminal propeptide (C-propeptide) contributes to...
