COL1A2 and osteogenesis imperfecta: From a cohort of 867 OI patients, we collected blood samples from 34 probands which contain 29 variants that are located close to splice donor/acceptor sites in either COL1A1 or COL1A2. By conducting minigene assay and sequencing analysis, we found that 17 out of 29 variants led to aberrant splicing effects, while no remarkable aberrant splicing effect was observed in the remaining 12 variants.
