Mutational analysis of COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes among Estonian osteogenesis imperfecta patients
Abstract Background Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare bone disorder. In 90% of cases, OI is caused by mutations in the COL1A1/2 genes, which code procollagen α1 and α2 chains. The main aim of the current research was to identify the mutational spectrum of COL1A1/2 genes in Estonian patients. Th...
