BACKGROUND: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) comprises a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of connective tissue disorders, characterized by low bone mass, increased bone fragility, and blue-gray eye sclera. OI often results from missense mutations in one of the conserved glycine residues pr...
