Clinical features and molecular characterization of Chinese patients with FKBP10 variants.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a group of rare skeletal dysplasia. Long bone deformity and scoliosis are often associated with progressively deforming types of OI. FKBP65 (encoded by FKBP10, OMIM *607063) plays a crucial role in the processing of type I procollagen. Autosomal recessive variants in FKBP10 result in type XI osteogenesis imperfecta.

Methods

Patients diagnosed with OI were recruited for a genetic test. RT-PCR and Sanger sequencing were applied to confirm the splicing defect in FKBP10 mRNA with the splice-site variant. The bone structure was characterized by Goldner's trichrome staining. Bioinformatic analyses of bulk RNA sequencing data were performed to examine the effect of the FKBP10 variant on gene expression.
