Abstract

We report a large consanguineous Turkish family in which multiple individuals are affected with autosomal recessive lethal or severe osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) due to a novel homozygous LEPRE1 mutation. In one affected individual histological studies of bone tissue were performed, which may indicate that the histology of LEPRE1-associated OI is indistinguishable from COL1A1/2-, CRTAP-, and PPIB-related OI.
