Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heritable bone dysplasia with collagen-related defects. Dominantly inherited OI is caused by structural defects in type I collagen or IFITM5, while recessive forms are caused by deficiency of proteins that interact with collagen for modification, folding or cross-linking. We have identified the first X-linked form of OI, caused by a defect in regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP). One type of RIP involves sequential cleavage of regulatory ...
