Osteogenesis imperfecta Type VI with severe bony deformities caused by novel compound heterozygous mutations in SERPINF1.

ABSTRACT: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) comprises a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by bone fragility, frequent fractures, and low bone mass. Dominantly inherited COL1A1 or COL1A2 mutations appear to be causative in the majority of OI types, but rare recessively inherited genes have also been reported. Recently, SERPINF1 has been reported as another causative gene in OI type VI. To date, only eight SERPINF1 mutations have been reported and all are homozygous. Our patient showed no abnormalities at birth, frequent fractures, osteopenia, and poor response on pamidronate therapy. At the time of her most recent evaluation, she was 8 yr old, and could not walk independently due to frequent lower-extremity fractures, resulting in severe deformity. No clinical signs were seen of hearing impairment, blue sclera, or dentinogenesis imperfecta. In this study, we describe the clinical and radiological findings of one Korean patient with novel compound heterozygous mutations (c.77dupC and c.421dupC) of SERPINF1.

Project description:Bruck syndrome (BS) is a congenital disorder characterized by joint flexion contractures, skeletal dysplasia, and increased bone fragility, which overlaps clinically with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). On a genetic level, BS is caused by biallelic mutations in either FKBP10 or PLOD2. PLOD2 encodes the lysyl hydroxylase 2 (LH2) enzyme, which is responsible for the hydroxylation of cross-linking lysine residues in fibrillar collagen telopeptide domains. This modification enables collagen to form chemically stable (permanent) intermolecular cross-links in the extracellular matrix. Normal bone collagen develops a unique mix of such stable and labile lysyl-oxidase-mediated cross-links, which contribute to bone strength, resistance to microdamage, and crack propagation, as well as the ordered deposition of mineral nanocrystals within the fibrillar collagen matrix. Bone from patients with BS caused by biallelic FKBP10 mutations has been shown to have abnormal collagen cross-linking; however, to date, no direct studies of human bone from BS caused by PLOD2 mutations have been reported. Here the results from a study of a 4-year-old boy with BS caused by compound heterozygous mutations in PLOD2 are discussed. Diminished hydroxylation of type I collagen telopeptide lysines but normal hydroxylation at triple-helical sites was found. Consequently, stable trivalent cross-links were essentially absent. Instead, allysine aldol dimeric cross-links dominated as in normal skin collagen. Furthermore, in contrast to the patient's bone collagen, telopeptide lysines in cartilage type II collagen cross-linked peptides from the patient's urine were normally hydroxylated. These findings shed light on the complex mechanisms that control the unique posttranslational chemistry and cross-linking of bone collagen, and how, when defective, they can cause brittle bones and related connective tissue problems. © 2020 The Authors.
