Communicated by Alec J. Jefieys An eight-year-old boy was referred for dental assessment of dentinogenesis imperfecta, a full clinical examination also revealed joint hypermobility and some features of mild osteogenesis imperfecta although he had suffered few fractures. Analysis of the collagens pro
In general, osteogenesis imperfecta is caused by heterozygous mutations in either of the genes encoding the alpha 1 or alpha 2 chains of type I collagen (COL1A1 and COL1A2, respectively). Usually, these mutations are unique to the affected individual or individuals within a family. In this study, si
Communicated by Cha& I. Epstein More than 150 mutations in the genes for type I procollagein have been found in unrelated patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (01), but mutations have been difficult to define in many patients with the mildest forms of the disease. Here, we have used robotically aut
A young girl presented with severe type 111 osteogenesis imperfecta; her otherwise healthy mother also had a mild connective tissue disorder with blue sclerae and recurrent joint dislocations. Skin fibroblast cultures from the child produced both normal and post-translationally overmodified type I c
