Abstract excerpt
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is an inherited disease in which 90% of the cases result from mutations in the 2 genes, pro alpha 1 and pro alpha 2, coding for type I collagen. Type I collagen is a trimeric molecule, (alpha 1)2 alpha 2, which is dominated both structurally and functionally by the 30...
