Mutations in bone morphogenetic protein 1 (BMP1) in humans or deletion of BMP1 and related protease tolloid like 1 (TLL1) in mice lead to osteogenesis imperfecta (OI).
Mutations in the proteinase bone morphogenetic protein-1 (BMP1) were recently identified in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta, which can be associated with type 1 dentinogenesis imperfecta.
We report a 59-year-old female with type 1 OI and adult scoliosis who underwent T10-to-pelvis fusion for ASD according to the principles of adult deformity correction.
Classical osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a dominant genetic disorder of connective tissue caused by mutations in either of the two genes encoding type I collagen, COL1A1 and COL1A2.
Because these mutations occur at a wide variety of sites in the genes and differ among populations, we studied the COL1A1 gene in Chinese with OI and compared the results with findings form other populations.
A definition for OI is proposed as a syndrome of congenital brittle bones secondary to mutations in the genes codifying for pro-collagen genes (COL1A1 and COL1A2).
Alternative splicing in COL1A1 mRNA leads to a partial null allele and two In-frame forms with structural defects in non-lethal osteogenesis imperfecta.
Here, we have used adeno-associated virus vectors to disrupt dominant-negative mutant COL1A1 collagen genes in MSCs from individuals with the brittle bone disorder osteogenesis imperfecta, demonstrating successful gene targeting in adult human stem cells.
We identified a known <i>COL1A1</i> (encoding collagen type I α 1 chain) mutation (c.2010delT, p.Gly671Alafs*95) in all three patients (the proband, her brother, and her mother) in this family, but also a novel heterozygous <i>COL5A1</i> (encoding collagen type V α 1 chain) mutation (c.5335A>G, p.N1779D) in the region encoding the C-terminal propeptide domain in the proband and her mother, who both had the compound phenotype of OI and EDS.
In addition, we correctly predicted a healthy fetus and an embryo affected with lethal osteogenesis imperfecta in consecutive pregnancies from a couple in which the asymptomatic mother was a somatic mosaic for a COL1A1 G-to-A transition (Gly355Asp).
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare connective tissue disorder caused by mutations in the type I collagen genes, COL1A1 and COL1A2, and is characterised by low bone mass and bone fragility.
The use of simultaneous reprogramming and gene correction to generate an osteogenesis imperfecta patient COL1A1 c. 3936 G>T iPSC line and an isogenic control iPSC line.
Redefinition of exon 7 in the COL1A1 gene of type I collagen by an intron 8 splice-donor-site mutation in a form of osteogenesis imperfecta: influence of intron splice order on outcome of splice-site mutation.
Two unrelated boys presented with osteogenesis imperfecta due to point mutations in COL1A1 and were both subsequently found to have a 1 bp frameshift deletion in the Dystrophin gene at age 3 and age 15 years, respectively.
Deletions and duplications of Gly-Xaa-Yaa triplet repeats in the triple helical domains of type I collagen chains disrupt helix formation and result in several types of osteogenesis imperfecta.
