Özet
Objectives Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a group of phenotypically and genetically heterogeneous connective tissue disorders that share similar skeletal anomalies causing bone fragility and deformation. This study aimed to investigate the molecular genetic etiology and to determine the relationship between genotype and phenotype in OI patients with whole exome sequencing (WES).Methods Multiplex-Ligation dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA) analysis of COL1A1 and COL1A2 and WES were performed on cases between the ages of 0 and 18 whose genetic etiology could not be determined before using a targeted next-generation sequencing panel, including 13 genes (COL1A1, COL1A2, IFITM5, SERPINF1, CRTAP, P3H1, PPIB, SERPINH1, FKBP10, SP7, BMP1, MBTPS2, PLOD2) responsible for OI.Results Twelve patients (female/male: 4/8) from 10 different families were included in the study. In 6 (50 %) families, consanguineous marriage was noted. The clinical typing based on Sillence classification; 3 (25 %) patients were considered to be type I, 7 (58.3 %) type III, and 2 (16.7 %) type IV. Deletion/duplication wasn't detected in the COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes in the MLPA analysis of the patients. Twelve patients were molecularly analyzed by WES, and in 6 (50 %) of them, a disease-causing variant in three different genes (FKBP10, P3H1, and WNT1) was identified. Two (33.3 %) detected variants in all genes have not been previously reported in the literature and were considered deleterious based on prediction tools. In 6 cases, no variants were detected in disease-causing genes.Results Twelve patients (female/male: 4/8) from 10 different families were included in the study.

In addition, two variants in OI genes have been identified, contributing to the literature.
