Objectives: We sought to identify the disease-causing mutations in two unrelated girls with a clinical diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta type IV.Methods: Whole-exome sequencing and cellular studies in skin fibroblasts were conducted.Results: We identified two homozygous variants in SPARC (NM_003118.3; c.497G>A (p.Arg166His) in individual 1; c.787G>A (p.Glu263Lys) in individual 2). Secreted protein, acidic, cyste...
