Mutations in type I collagen cause classic osteogenesis imperfecta, an autosomal dominant disease; however, a recessive form has long been suspected. The authors showed that deficiency in the cartilage-associated protein, required for the post-translational prolyl 3-hydroxylation of collagen, was associated with autosomal recessive osteogenesis imperfecta in three infants who did not have a primary collagen defect. These data suggest that prolyl 3-hydroxylation of type I collagen is important for bone formation.

Osteogenesis imperfecta, or “brittle bone disease,” is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by bone fragility with susceptibility to fracture.

extends from mild symptoms to a perinatal lethal condition (Table 1 of the Supplementary Appendix, available with the full text of this article at www.nejm.org). Mutations in type I collagen, the major structural protein of bone and skin, cause most cases of osteogenesis imperfecta.

Type I collagen is a heterotrimer, composed of two α1(I) and one α2(I) chains. Both α chains have a primary structure of uninterrupted repeats of the tripeptide . . .
