To read the full abstract: J Bone Miner Res 2018;33(7):1260-1271Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is characterized by early-onset skeletal fragility, often short stature, blue sclerae and some other features. OI is caused by mutations in the two genes encoding type I collagen, namely COL1A1 and COL1A2. Some previous reports have indicated that when the mutation involves the C-propeptide cleavage site in e...

Abstract: JCI Insight. 2019; Apr 4;4(7).In brief: This study describes a novel autosomal dominant form of primary osteoporosis caused by SGMS2 mutations in six families. A recurrent mutation p.Arg50* led to primary osteoporosis in four families, whereas missense mutations p.Ile62Ser and p.Met64Arg caused a much more severe bone phenotype with spondylometaphyseal d...
