Homozygous osteogenesis imperfecta unlinked to collagen I genes

摘要

In a consanguineous pedigree in which a severe type of osteogenesis imperfecta was segregating as an autosomal recessive trait, analysis of genetic markers for both collagen I structural loci COL1A1 and COL1A2 showed that the phenotype was unlinked to either locus.
