Novel COL1A1 Mutation c.3290G>T Associated With Severe Form of Osteogenesis Imperfecta in a Fetus

Osteogenesis imperfecta is a genetically and clinically heterogenous group of skeletal dysplasias characterized by bone fragility. Its severity ranges from nearly asymptomatic individuals to perinatal lethality. The majority of cases are caused by mutations in either the COL1A1 or the COL1A2 gene coding for alpha 1 and alpha 2 chains of collagen type 1, respectively, and a large number of pathogenic variants of these genes has been identified. We describe a novel COL1A1 mutation associated with prenatally diagnosed severe form of osteogenesis imperfecta.
