About
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a heterogeneous group of rare connective tissue hereditary diseases responsible for fragility and bone deformity. OI is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation of COL1A1 or COL1A2, encoding α1 and α2 of the collagen, regardless of their phenotypic severity (1 to 5 OI type).
This observation suggests the existence of a undetermined mechanism that may be found in epigenetic regulation, including particularly micro Ribonucleic Acids (miRs).
Indeed, these small non-coding miRs are involved in the regulation of major steps of cellular processes in different pathologies, especially in bone disease.
Currently, no study can provide a satisfactory answer.
This is an etiologic study to reveal the correlation between micro-RNAs (miR) expression and the type I or III of the Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI).
The aim of this study is therefore to identify miRs significantly associated with the severity of OI.
