DOMINANTLY INHERITED OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA (OI TYPES I AND IV) IS GENETICALLY LINKED TO THE COLIAI AND CJL1A2 GENES OF TYPE I COLLAGEN Baylor College of Medicine: Mutated bone stem cells caught in a loop leading to osteogenesis imperfecta type V A study conducted by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions reveals the molecular events leading to osteogenesis imperfecta type V, a form of brittle bone disease ... Mutated bone stem cells caught in a loop leading to osteogenesis imperfecta type V Nature: Osteogenesis imperfecta Phenotypes Resulting from Serine for Glycine Substitutions in the α2(I) Collagen Chain Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heterogeneous connective tissue disorder characterized by brittle bones. Four clinical subtypes are recognized, including a mild (type I), a lethal (type II), a ...
