Case Report: A Novel COL1A1 Missense Mutation Associated With Dentineogenesis Imperfecta Type I.

ABSTRACT: Background: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a clinical and genetic disorder that results in bone fragility, blue sclerae and dentineogenesis imperfecta (DGI), which is mainly caused by a mutation in the COL1A1 or COL1A2 genes, which encode type I procollagen. Case Report: A missense mutation (c.1463G > C) in exon 22 of the COL1A1 gene was found using whole-exome sequencing. However, the cases reported herein only exhibited a clinical DGI-I phenotype. There were no cases of bone disease or any other common abnormal symptom caused by a COL1A1 mutation. In addition, the ultrastructural analysis of the tooth affected with non-syndromic DGI-I showed that the abnormal dentine was accompanied by the disruption of odontoblast polarization, a reduced number
