Substitutions for arginine at position 780 in triple helical domain of the α1(I) chain alter folding of the type I procollagen molecule and cause osteogenesis imperfecta.

Substitutions for arginine at position 780 in triple helical domain of the α1(I) chain alter folding of the type I procollagen molecule and cause osteogenesis imperfecta.

OI is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by bone fragility. More than 90% of patients are heterozygous for mutations in type I collagen genes, COL1A1 and COL1A2, and a common mutation is substitution for an obligatory glycine in the triple helical Gly-X-Y repeats.
