Consortium for osteogenesis imperfecta mutations in the helical domain of type I collagen: regions rich in lethal mutations align with collagen binding sites for integrins and proteoglycans
- J. Marini, A. Forlino, +24 authors P. Byers
- Materials Science, Medicine
- Human mutation
- 1 March 2007
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a generalized disorder of connective tissue characterized by fragile bones and easy susceptibility to fracture. Most cases of OI are caused by mutations in type I… Expand
Pseudoachondroplasia and multiple epiphyseal dysplasia due to mutations in the cartilage oligomeric matrix protein gene
- M. D. Briggs, S.M.G. Hoffman, +10 authors D. Cohn
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Genetics
- 1 July 1995
Pseudoachondroplasia (PSACH) and multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED) are dominantly inherited chondrodysplasias characterized by short stature and early–onset osteoarthrosis. The disease genes in… Expand
Thanatophoric dysplasia (types I and II) caused by distinct mutations in fibroblast growth factor receptor 3
- P. Tavormina, R. Shiang, +7 authors J. Wasmuth
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Genetics
- 1 March 1995
Thanatophoric dysplasia (TD), the most common neonatal lethal skeletal dysplasia, affects one out of 20,000 live births. Affected individuals display features similar to those seen in homozygous… Expand
Heterozygous mutations in the gene encoding noggin affect human joint morphogenesis
The secreted polypeptide noggin (encoded by the Nog gene) binds and inactivates members of the transforming growth factor β superfamily of signalling proteins (TGFβ-FMs), such as BMP4 (ref. 1). By… Expand
Mutations in the gene encoding filamin B disrupt vertebral segmentation, joint formation and skeletogenesis
- D. Krakow, S. Robertson, +22 authors D. Cohn
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Genetics
- 29 February 2004
The filamins are cytoplasmic proteins that regulate the structure and activity of the cytoskeleton by cross-linking actin into three-dimensional networks, linking the cell membrane to the… Expand
Gain-of-function mutations in TRPV4 cause autosomal dominant brachyolmia
- M. J. Rock, J. Prenen, +16 authors D. Cohn
- Medicine, Biology
- Nature Genetics
- 1 August 2008
The brachyolmias constitute a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of skeletal dysplasias characterized by a short trunk, scoliosis and mild short stature. Here, we identify a locus for an… Expand
WNT1 mutations in early-onset osteoporosis and osteogenesis imperfecta.
- C. Laine, K. S. Joeng, +20 authors O. Mäkitie
- Biology, Medicine
- The New England journal of medicine
- 8 May 2013
This report identifies human skeletal diseases associated with mutations in WNT1. In 10 family members with dominantly inherited, early-onset osteoporosis, we identified a heterozygous missense… Expand
Mutations in the gene encoding the calcium-permeable ion channel TRPV4 produce spondylometaphyseal dysplasia, Kozlowski type and metatropic dysplasia.
- D. Krakow, J. Vriens, +14 authors D. Cohn
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of human genetics
- 13 March 2009
The spondylometaphyseal dysplasias (SMDs) are a group of short-stature disorders distinguished by abnormalities in the vertebrae and the metaphyses of the tubular bones. SMD Kozlowski type (SMDK) is… Expand

- 28 January 2010
BACKGROUND
Establishing the genetic basis of phenotypes such as skeletal dysplasia in model organisms can provide insights into biologic processes and their role in human disease.
METHODS
We… Expand
