Kuskokwim syndrome, a recessive congenital contracture disorder, extends the phenotype of FKBP10 mutations.

TL;DR: The results imply that FKBP10 mutations affect collagen indirectly, by ablating FK BP65 support for collagen telopeptide hydroxylation by lysyl hydroxymase 2, thus decreasing collagen cross‐links in tendon and bone matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective retention and degradation of molecules with a single mutant alpha1(I) chain in the Brtl IV mouse model of OI.

TL;DR: It is argued that the outcome in Brtl IV may be significantly affected by cellular stress and malfunction caused by the retention and degradation of newly synthesized mutant collagen.
Journal ArticleDOI

The growth hormone and somatomedin axis in short children with osteogenesis imperfecta.

TL;DR: It is concluded that abnormalities of the GH-somatomedin axis exist in some children with OI and Administration of GH or clonidine may augment growth rates in OI children; however, the effect of these agents on final stature is unknown.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypermineralization and High Osteocyte Lacunar Density in Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type V Bone Indicate Exuberant Primary Bone Formation

TL;DR: The elevated osteocyte lacunar density in connection with lack of regular bone lamellation points to an exuberant primary bone formation and an alteration of the bone remodeling process in OI type V, similar to other forms of OI.
