Exome sequencing identified mutations in the WNT1 and COL1A2 genes in osteogenesis imperfecta cases

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heritable connective tissue disorder characterized by bone deformities, fractures and reduced bone mass. OI can be inherited as a dominant, recessive, or X-linked disorder. The mutational spectrum has shown that autosomal dominant mutations in the type I collagen-encoding genes are responsible for OI in 85
