Mutation and polymorphism spectrum in osteogenesis imperfecta type II: implications for genotype–phenotype relationships

TL;DR: The results contribute to the understanding of the etiology of OI by providing data to evaluate and refine current models relating genotype to phenotype and by providing an unbiased indication of the relative frequency of mutations in OI-associated genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recurrence of perinatal lethal osteogenesis imperfecta in sibships: Parsing the risk between parental mosaicism for dominant mutations and autosomal recessive inheritance

TL;DR: In most populations, recurrence of lethal osteogenesis imperfecta usually results from parental mosaicism for dominant mutations, but the carrier frequency of recessive forms of osteogenesisperfecta will alter that proportion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Substitutions for arginine at position 780 in triple helical domain of the α1(I) chain alter folding of the type I procollagen molecule and cause osteogenesis imperfecta

TL;DR: Investigating leucine and cysteine substitutions for one Y-position arginine, p.Arg958, of proα1(I) chains that cause mild OI observed slower triple helix folding and intracellular collagen retention, which disturbed the Endoplasmic Reticulum function and affected matrix deposition.
