Providing a genetic evaluation for patients with a personal or family history suggestive osteogenesis imperfecta and other hereditary conditions associated with bone fragility
Genetics Test Information
This test utilizes next-generation sequencing to detect single nucleotide and copy number variants in 25 genes associated with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) and other hereditary conditions associated with bone fragility: ALPL, ANO5, BMP1, COL1A1, COL1A2, CREB3L1, CRTAP, FKBP10, IFITM5, LRP5, MBTPS2, P3H1, P4HB, PLOD2, PLS3, PPIB, SEC24D, SERPINF1, SERPINH1, SP7, SPARC, TAPT1, TMEM38B, WNT1, and XYLT2. See Targeted Genes and Methodology Details for Osteogenesis Imperfecta and Bone Fragility Gene Panel and Method Description for additional details.
Identification of a disease-causing variant may assist with diagnosis, prognosis, clinical management, familial screening, and genetic counseling for OI and other hereditary conditions associated with bone fragility.
Prior Authorization is available for this assay.

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a hereditary skeletal dysplasia syndrome characterized primarily by bone fragility and skeletal deformities, with other possible features including dental abnormalities, hearing loss, and blue/gray sclera.(1,2) Historically, OI was classified into  subtypes based on clinical presentation only: nondeforming with persistently blue sclera (OI type I), perinatal lethal (OI type II), progressively deforming (OI type III), moderate (OI type IV), and with calcification of the interosseous membranes and/or hypertrophic callus (OI type V). While these clinical classifications are still commonly used, it is recommended that OI subtypes are classified by genetic etiology.(3) Currently, there are approximately 20 different genetic subtypes of OI with variable modes of inheritance and pathophysiology.(1-3)
The most common genetic etiology of OI is disease-causing variants in the COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes encoding the pro alpha 1(I) and pro alpha 2(I) chains of type I procollagen, respectively. It is estimated that up to 25% of cases of OI are caused by disease-causing variants in either COL1A1 or COL1A2.(1-3) Disease-causing variants in these genes result in the inability to properly synthesize the pro alpha 1/2 molecules ultimately leading to abnormal or absent collagen I, a critical molecule for the structural integrity of bone. COL1A1/2-associated OI is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner and can result in a spectrum of disease severity, classified into OI types I-IV.(3)
Other genetic etiologies of OI are associated with genes involved in bone mineralization, collagen modification, collagen processing, collagen cross-linking, and osteoblast differentiation and function.(3) The majority of these less common genetic OI subtypes are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, with the exception of autosomal dominant IFITM5-associated OI (also known as OI type V), and X-linked recessive MBTPS2-associated OI (also known as OI type XVII).
Several genetic conditions leading to bone fragility have significant overlap with OI. Additional conditions covered by this panel include ALPL-associated hypophosphatasia, ANO5-associated gnathodiaphyseal dysplasia, FKBP10-associated Bruck syndrome, LRP5-associated osteoporosis, P4HB-associated Cole-Carpenter syndrome, PLOD2-associated Bruck syndrome, PLS3-associated X-linked osteoporosis, TAPT1-associated osteochondrodysplasia, and XYLT2-associated spondyloocular syndrome with bone fragility, cataracts and hearing defects.
