Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) types VII, VIII and IX, caused by recessive mutations in cartilage-associated protein (CRTAP), prolyl-3-hydroxylase 1 (P3H1) and cyclophilin B (PPIB), respectively, are characterized by the synthesis of overmodified collagen. The gene discussed is P3H1; the disease is osteogenesis imperfecta.
