Biallelic pathogenic variants in these genes are rare and associated with Ehlers-Danlos\u2013like features or severe OI forms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Within a collaborative study on pediatric bone fragility in Egyptian patients, we performed whole-exome sequencing and segregation analysis in families with suspected OI.

Both presented with features typical of OI type III\/IV. The heterozygous parents carrying the COL1A1 variant were asymptomatic, whereas those carrying the COL1A2 variant had OI type I.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>Analysis of triple-helical-domain glycine substitutions found in unaffected individuals in gnomAD showed that glycine residues in proximity to the N-terminal region of the COL1A1 triple-helix domain exhibit greater tolerance to substitutions, which was not found for COL1A2.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We report the second patient with a homozygous glycine substitution within the triple-helical domain of COL1A1 associated with severe OI, and the sixth patient with a homozygous glycine substitution within the triple-helical domain of COL1A2.
