AbstractOsteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) comprises a heterogeneous group of patients who share bone fragility and deformities as the main characteristics, albeit with different degrees of severity. Phenotypic variation also exists in other connective tissue aspects of the disease, complicating disease classification and disease course prediction. Although collagen type I defects are long established as the primary cause of the bone pathology, we are still far from comprehending the complete mechanism. In the last years, the advent of next generation sequencing has triggered the discovery of many new genetic causes for OI, helping to draw its molecular landscape. It has become clear that, in addition to collagen type I genes, OI can be caused by multiple proteins connected to different parts of collagen biosynthesis. The production of collagen entails a complex process, starting from the production of the collagen Iα1 and collagen Iα2 chains in the endoplasmic reticulum, during and after which procollagen is subjected to a plethora of posttranslational modifications by chaperones. After reaching the Golgi organelle, procollagen is destined to the extracellular matrix where it forms collagen fibrils. Recently discovered mutations in components of the retrograde transport of chaperones highlight its emerging role as critical contributor of OI development. This review offers an overview of collagen regulation in the context of recent gene discoveries, emphasizing the significance of transport disruptions in the OI mechanism. We aim to motivate exploration of skeletal fragility in OI from the perspective of these pathways to identify regulatory points which can hint to therapeutic targets.

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a bone fragility disorder that is usually caused by mutations affecting collagen type I. We compared the calvaria bone tissue transcriptome of male 10-week-old heterozygous Jrt (Col1a1 mutation) and homozygous oim mice (Col1a2 mutation) to their respective littermate results. We found that Jrt and oim mice shared 185 differentially expressed genes (upregulated: 106 genes; downregulated: 79 genes). A total of seven genes were upregulated by a factor of two or more in both mouse models (Cyp2e1, Slc13a5, Cgref1, Smpd3, Ifitm5, Cthrc1 and Rerg). One gene (Gypa, coding for a blood group antigen) was downregulated by a factor of two or more in both OI mouse models. Overrepresentation analyses revealed that genes involved in ‘ossification’ were significantly overrepresented among upregulated genes in both Jrt and oim mice, whereas hematopoietic genes were downregulated. Several genes involved in Wnt signaling and transforming growth factor beta signaling were upregulated in oim mice, but less so in Jrt mice. Thus, this study identified a set of genes that are dysregulated across various OI mouse models and are likely to play an important role in the pathophysiology of this disorder.

Osteogenesis imperfecta, discussed in Baldridge et al. 2008 is an inherited bone fragility disorder with a wide range of clinical severity that in the majority of cases is caused by mutations in COL1A1 or COL1A2, the genes that encode the two collagen type I alpha chains. Here we describe genotype-phenotype correlations in OI patients who have mutations affecting collagen type I. This paper is based on findings in a large single-centre OI population and a review of the literature.

La osteogénesis imperfecta (OI) corresponde a un conjunto de trastornos hereditarios del tejido conectivo que tienen como manifestación común la fragilidad ósea. Su etiología es de origen genético y la gran mayoría de casos corresponden a mutaciones autosómicas dominantes de genes que codifican para el colágeno tipo I. Su diagnóstico es primariamente clínico basado en las características típicas de la enfermedad. Reportamos el caso de una mujer con historia de fracturas recurrentes en diferentes ocasiones, y el de su hija de tres años, quien al momento del reporte ya ha presentado dos fracturas.AbstractOsteogenesis imperfecta (OI) encompasses a group of inherited connective tissue with bone fragility as its common manifestation. Its etiology is genetic in nature and the vast majority of cases are due to autosomal dominant mutations of genes that code for collagen type I proteins. Diagnosis is primarily based on the typical clinical features of the disease. We report the case of a woman with a history of recurrent fractures at different moments in time, and her three year old daughter who at the moment of this report has already had two fractures.

Over 85% of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) cases associates to mutations in procollagen type I genes (COL1A1 or COL1A2), however, no hot spots were linked to particular clinical phenotypes. The 8 patients whom were clinically diagnosed with OI are from Polish population with no ethnic background indicated. Six unpublished mutations were detected in eight patients diagnosed with OI. Genotypes for polymorphisms (Sp1 - rs1800012 and PvuII - rs412777), linked to bone formation and metabolism were also determined. In COL1A1 gene the mutations were found in exons 2, 22, 50 and in introns 13 and 51. In COL1A2 one mutation was identified in exon 22. Mutations of deletion type in COL1A1 that resulted in OI type I an effect neither on collagen type I secretion nor its intracellular accumulation were detected. Also, a single base substitution in I13 (c.904-9 G>T) was associated with OI type I. The OI type III was associated with single base change in I51 of COL1A1, possibly causing an exon skipping. Also, a missense mutation in COL1A2 changing Gly®Cys in the central part of triple helical domain of the collagen type I molecule caused OI type III. It affected secretion of heterotrimeric form of procollagen type I. However, no intracellular accumulation of procollagen chains could be detected. Mutation in COL1A2 affected its incorporation to procollagen type I. The results shall help in genetic counseling of OI patients and provide rational support in making by them and their families conscious, life important decisions.

abstract Context: Information on the use of oral bisphosphonate agents to treat pediatric osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is limited. Objective: The objective of the investigation was to study the efficacy and safety of daily oral alendronate (ALN) in children with OI. Design and Participants: We conducted a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study. One hundred thirty-nine children (aged 4–19 yr) with type I, III, or IV OI were randomized to either placebo (n = 30) or ALN (n = 109) for 2 yr. ALN doses were 5 mg/d in children less than 40 kg and 10 mg/d for those 40 kg and greater. Main Outcome Measures: Spine areal bone mineral density (BMD) z-score, urinary N-telopeptide of collagen type I, extremity fracture incidence, vertebral area, iliac cortical width, bone pain, physical activity, and safety parameters were measured. Results: ALN increased spine areal BMD by 51% vs. a 12% increase with placebo (P < 0.001); the mean spine areal BMD z-score increased significantly from −4.6 to −3.3 (P < 0.001) with ALN, whereas the change in the placebo group (from −4.6 to −4.5) was insignificant. Urinary N-telopeptide of collagen type I decreased by 62% in the ALN-treated group, compared with 32% with placebo (P < 0.001). Long-bone fracture incidence, average midline vertebral height, iliac cortical width, bone pain, and physical activity were similar between groups. The incidences of clinical and laboratory adverse experiences were also similar between the treatment and placebo groups. Conclusions: Oral ALN for 2 yr in pediatric patients with OI significantly decreased bone turnover and increased spine areal BMD but was not associated with improved fracture outcomes.

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disorder characterized by increased bone fragility and low bone mass, caused mainly by mutations in collagen type I encoding genes. The current study aimed to evaluate dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI), oral manifestations and caries status of OI children. Sixty-eight children (41 males, 27 females) aged from 3 to 17 years old (mean 9 ± 4.13) participated in the study. Participants were classified into three OI type groups (I—2 cases, III—31 cases and IV—35 cases). Clinical examination and an orthopantomogram were used to obtain prevalences and associations of DI, caries status, malocclusion, crossbite, open bite, eruption, impaction and missing teeth with OI. The prevalence of DI among OI patients was 47.1%, more common in OI type III than type IV. The yellow-brown discoloration type was more vulnerable to attrition than the opalescent-grey one in the primary dentition. OI seemed not to have a high risk of caries; the prevalence of caries was 69.1%. A high incidence of malocclusion, crossbite and open bite was observed. In-depth oral information would provide valuable data for better dental management in OI patients. Parents and general doctors should pay more attention to dental care to prevent caries and premature tooth loss.
