Type XV osteogenesis imperfecta: A novel mutation in the <em>WNT1</em> gene, c.620G &gt;A (p.R207H), is associated with an inner ear deformity

pubmed: wnt1 2023-05-26

Summary:

The Wnt signaling pathway is vital in encouraging bone growth. WNT1 gene mutations have been identified as the major cause of type XV osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Described here is a case of complex heterozygous WNT1 c.620G>A (p.R207H) and c.677C >T (p.S226L) OI caused by a novel mutation at locus c.620G >A (p.R207H). The female patient had type XV OI, distinguished by poor bone density, frequent fractures, a small stature, skull softening, lack of dentine hypoplasia, a brain malformation, and...
