Detail Description

Understanding the WNT1 Gene and Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type 15

Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type 15 (OI Type 15) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the bones, causing them to be brittle and prone to fractures. This condition is caused by a mutation in the WNT1 gene, which provides instructions for making a protein that is essential for the development and maintenance of bone tissue.

Symptoms of OI Type 15

The symptoms of OI Type 15 can vary in severity and can include:

• Frequent fractures, often occurring for no apparent reason
• Short stature
• Bowed legs or arms
• Weak muscles
• Loose joints
• Blue or gray tint to the sclera (white part of the eye)

It is important to note that not all individuals with OI Type 15 will experience all of these symptoms.

Diagnosis of OI Type 15

Diagnosis of OI Type 15 typically involves a combination of physical examination, medical history, and genetic testing. Genetic testing, specifically Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) of the WNT1 gene, is the most reliable method of diagnosis.
