Longitudinal growth curves for children with classical osteogenesis imperfecta (types III and IV) caused by structural pathogenic variants in type I collagen.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:Growth deficiency is a cardinal feature of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) types III and IV, caused by pathogenic variants in type I collagen. OI-specific longitudinal growth charts are needed for patient care. METHODS:We compiled longitudinal length, weight, head circumference, and body mass index (BMI) data from 100 children with types III and IV OI and known type I collagen pathogenic variants. Effects of gender, OI type, and pathogenic variant were examined using multilevel modeling. OI-specific centile curves were constructed using generalized additive model for location, scale, and shape (GAMLSS). RESULTS:OI type and gender, but not the specific mutated collagen gene, significantly affect stature, but only OI type affects weight. Head circumference was not significantly different by gender, type, or mutated gene. In both genders, length curves for types III and IV OI overlap and the type IV 95th centile curve overlaps the lower US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) curves for the general population. A pubertal growth spurt is generally absent or blunted in types III/IV OI. The body mass index 50th and 95th centile curves are distinctly shifted above respective US CDC curves in both genders. CONCLUSIONS:OI type is a stronger contributing factor than gender for OI growth, while curves do not differ for COL1A1 versus COL1A2 pathogenic variants. Types III and IV OI-specific growth curves are presented.

Project description:This cross-sectional study investigated the natural history of craniofacial deformities in osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) and determined the impact of three-dimensional (3D) analysis on diagnosis and treatment planning in orthodontics and orthognathic surgery in comparison to conventional two-dimensional (2D) cephalometric examination. 3D images of the craniofacial complex were acquired during 1 calendar year using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) from a cohort of 41 individuals (aged 11 to 35 years; 28 females) with OI type III (n = 13) or IV (n = 28). 3D evaluation of the craniocervical junction and upper airways was conducted using InVivoTM. 2D lateral cephalogram was constructed, traced, and examined using the University of Western Ontario analysis (DolphinTM). Quantitative and qualitative parameters were compared between OI type III and type IV groups (unpaired t test) and the unaffected population (Z-score). 3D evaluation revealed a high prevalence of craniocervical abnormalities, craniofacial asymmetries, and nasal septum deviation in both OI groups. Mean airway dimensions were comparable to the non-affected population norms, except for 5 individuals who had insufficient airway dimensions. In 2D, the maxilla was retrognathic and hypoplastic, and the mandibular position was convergent with respect to the face, resulting in mandibular prognathism and face height reduction. The 2D trends were more pronounced in OI type III, whereas the 3D craniocervical and airway abnormalities were common in both types. This study illustrates the prevalence of craniofacial and airway anomalies in OI that occur along with facial deformities are not associated with postcranial phenotype and OI type, are apparent only in 3D evaluation, and are likely to influence treatment strategy. For OI patients, a team effort involving a dentist, orthodontist, neurologist, and ear-nose-throat (ENT) practitioner is recommended for successful management of craniofacial deformities.

Project description:IntroductionDentinogenesis imperfecta type 1 (OIDI) is considered a relatively rare genetic disorder (1:5000 to 1:45,000) associated with osteogenesis imperfecta. OIDI impacts the formation of collagen fibrils in dentin, leading to morphological and structural changes that affect the strength and appearance of teeth. However, there is still a lack of understanding regarding the nanoscale characterization of the disease, in terms of collagen ultrastructure and mechanical properties. Therefore, this research presents a qualitative and quantitative report into the phenotype and characterization of OIDI in dentin, by using a combination of imaging, nanomechanical approaches.MethodsFor this study, 8 primary molars from OIDI patients and 8 primary control molars were collected, embedded in acrylic resin and cut into longitudinal sections. Sections were then demineralized in 37% phosphoric acid using a protocol developed in-house. Initial experiments demonstrated the effectiveness of the demineralization protocol, as the ATR-FTIR spectral fingerprints showed an increase in the amide bands together with a decrease in phosphate content. Structural and mechanical analyses were performed directly on both the mineralized and demineralized samples using a combination of scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and Wallace indentation.ResultsMesoscale imaging showed alterations in dentinal tubule morphology in OIDI patients, with a reduced number of tubules and a decreased tubule diameter compared to healthy controls. Nanoscale collagen ultrastructure presented a similar D-banding periodicity between OIDI and controls. Reduced collagen fibrils diameter was also recorded for the OIDI group. The hardness of the (mineralized) control dentin was found to be significantly higher (p<0.05) than that of the OIDI (mineralized) dentine. Both the exposed peri- and intratubular dentinal collagen presented bimodal elastic behaviors (Young's moduli). The control samples presented a stiffening of the intratubular collagen when compared to the peritubular collagen. In case of the OIDI, this stiffening in the collagen between peri- and intratubular dentinal collagen was not observed and the exposed collagen presented overall a lower elasticity than the control samples.ConclusionThis study presents a systematic approach to the characterization of collagen structure and properties in OIDI as diagnosed in dentin. Structural markers for OIDI at the mesoscale and nanoscale were found and correlated with an observed lack of increased elastic moduli of the collagen fibrils in the intratubular OIDI dentin. These findings offer an explanation of how structural changes in the dentin could be responsible for the failure of some adhesive restorative materials as observed in patients affected by OIDI.
