However, in the past 10 years discoveries of further (mainly recessive) causative genes have lent support to a predominantly collagen-related pathophysiology [ 1 ]. [patient.info]

The basic pathophysiology for OI is the mutation in the gene coding for type I collagen [3]. The most widely accepted classification was proposed by Sillence et al. in 1979 [4]. [hindawi.com]
