A large kindred with dominantly inherited osteogenesis imperfecta was evaluated. Affected individuals had bone fractures, blue sclerae, and hearing loss. In addition, all had dental abnormalities distinct from those previously descnbed in other families with this syndrome. Deciduous teeth were norma

## Abstract Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a spectrum of genetic disorders characterized by bone fragility. It is caused by dominant mutations affecting the synthesis and/or structure of type I procollagen or by recessively inherited mutations in genes responsible for the posttranslational process
## Communicated by Richard G.H. Cotton Mutations in the type I collagen genes COL1A1 and COL1A2 are responsible for the dominantly inherited connective tissue disorder osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). The severity of OI is diverse, ranging from perinatal lethality to a very mild phenotype that is cha
## Abstract The purpose of this study was to improve the evaluation process of children with type I Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) by providing a quantitative comparison of gait and selected functional assessments to ageβmatched controls. A 14βcamera Vicon Motion Analysis System was used for gait ana
