Osteogenesis imperfecta, type XIVAR

Manifestation: Musculoskeletal

Intervention: General

Rationale: Genetic knowledge may be beneficial related to issues such as selection of optimal supportive care, informed medical decision-making, prognostic considerations, and avoidance of unnecessary testing

Comments: The use of bisphosphonates has been described in osteogenesis imperfecta, but it is unclear if an early (genomic) diagnosis would be advantageous

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_018112.3. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Monovalent cation channel required for maintenance of rapid intracellular calcium release. May act as a potassium counter-ion channel that functions in synchronization with calcium release from intracellular stores. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9DAV9}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Osteogenesis imperfecta 14 (OI14) [MIM:615066]: An autosomal recessive form of osteogenesis imperfecta, a connective tissue disorder characterized by low bone mass, bone fragility and susceptibility to fractures after minimal trauma. Disease severity ranges from very mild forms without fractures to intrauterine fractures and perinatal lethality. Extraskeletal manifestations, which affect a variable number of patients, are dentinogenesis imperfecta, hearing loss, and blue sclerae. OI14 is characterized by variable degrees of severity of multiple fractures and osteopenia, with normal teeth, sclerae, and hearing. Fractures first occur prenatally or by age 6 years. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23054245, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23316006}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
