Mutations in WNT1 cause different forms of bone fragility

Mutations in WNT1 cause different forms of bone fragility

We report that hypofunctional alleles of WNT1 cause autosomal-recessive osteogenesis imperfecta, a congenital disorder characterized by reduced bone mass and recurrent fractures. In consanguineous families, we identified five homozygous mutations in WNT1: one frameshift mutation, two missense mutati...
