Objectives: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a relatively common skeletal dysplasia characterized by bone fragility, mainly resulting from mutations in the COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes. Phenotype–genotype correlation is not fully uncovered in OI. Additionally, more than ten genes have been found to be responsible for OI. In the current study, we determine mutations in patients with OI using a targeted exome sequencing and examine a phenotype–genotype correlation.<p cla...
