An observational study in Osteogenesis Imperfecta, sponsored by Baylor College of Medicine. Active, not recruiting at 7 sites in 2 countries. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-12-01.
Sponsored by Baylor College of Medicine · Observational
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare inherited disorder that causes bones to break easily. Individuals with osteogenesis imperfecta break bones often and may have other problems, including hearing loss, dental problems, pain and difficulty getting around. Before the genetic cause of OI was known, OI was classified into four types. Each type was based upon the symptoms and severity of OI. In most people with OI, the cause is a change in one of the genes that makes a protein called type 1 collagen. Some doctors now classify OI both on how severe it is as well as which gene is causing OI. When people classify OI this way, there are more than 10 types of OI. The current laboratory testing to determine OI subtype involves the collection of blood and/or skin cells.
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a rare disorder that causes bones to break easily. People with OI may have broken bones with little or no trauma, dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI), and, in adult years, hearing loss. It is seen in both genders and all races. OI can range from very severe to very mild. Individuals with the most severe type of OI may die at birth. People with severe OI who survive may have bowed arms and legs, very short stature and be unable to walk. People with the mildest form of OI may only break bones occasionally and have normal height and lifespan. Breaks can occur in any bone, but are most common in the arms and legs. People with OI also often have problems with the spine. The spine problems include compression fractures and scoliosis (a curvature of the spine). DI is characterized by grey or brown teeth that may chip and wear down and break easily. In addition to weak teeth, the teeth in the upper jaw may not match up with the teeth in the lower jaw.
Before the genetic cause of OI was known, OI was classified into four types. Each type was based upon the symptoms and severity of OI. In most people with OI, the cause is a change in one of the genes that makes a protein called type 1 collagen. In the past decade, it was discovered that in about 5% of people with OI it is in another gene. Some doctors now classify OI both on how severe it is as well as which gene is causing OI. When people classify OI this way, there are more than 10 types of OI. The current laboratory testing to determine OI subtype involves the collection of blood and/or skin cells.

Individuals with OI
Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
Be enrolled in The Longitudinal Study of OI (NTC #02432625) and have one of the following genetic mutations:
If you are serving as a control, you must not be related to an individual with OI.
Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
ULN (upper limit of normal)
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Individuals with OI with confirmed specific genetic mutations
Individuals who do not have OI and who are not related to an individual with OI
HP/LP Ratio
The endpoint will be to compare the HP/LP ratio in OI patients with collagen overmodification (dominant negative mutations in COL1A1, COL1A2, and biallelic mutations in CRTAP, LEPRE1, PPIB) to those without overmodification (FKBP10, SERPINH1, IFITM5, SERPINF1, WNT1, and haploinsufficient mutations in COL1A1 and COL1A2).
Time frame: 5 Years
HP/LP ratio
The endpoint would be the HP/LP ratio in those with dominant negative type I collagen mutations vs. those with mutations in P3H complex.
Time frame: 5 Years
