Types
There are eight different types of OI, Type I being the most common, though the symptoms vary from person to person.
| Type | Description | Gene | OMIM | Mode of Inheritance |
| I | mild | Null COL1A1 allele | 166240 (IA), 166200 (IB) | autosomal dominant, 60% de novo |
| II | severe and usually lethal in the perinatal period | COL1A1, COL1A2, | 166210 (IIA), 610854 (IIB) | autosomal dominant, ~100% de novo |
| III | considered progressive and deforming | COL1A1, COL1A2 | 259420 | autosomal dominant, ~100% de novo |
| IV | deforming, but with normal scleras | COL1A1, COL1A2 | 166220 | autosomal dominant, 60% de novo |
| V | shares the same clinical features of IV, but has unique histologic findings ("mesh-like") | unknown | 610967 | autosomal dominant |
| VI | shares the same clinical features of IV, but has unique histologic findings ("fish scale") | unknown | 610968 | unknown |
| VII | associated with cartilage associated protein | CRTAP | 610682 | autosomal recessive |
| VIII | severe to lethal, associated with the protein leprecan | LEPRE1 | 610915 | autosomal recessive |

Famous quotes containing the word types:
“Our major universities are now stuck with an army of pedestrian, toadying careerists, Fifties types who wave around Sixties banners to conceal their record of ruthless, beaverlike tunneling to the top.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“The wider the range of possibilities we offer children, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experiences. We must widen the range of topics and goals, the types of situations we offer and their degree of structure, the kinds and combinations of resources and materials, and the possible interactions with things, peers, and adults.”
—Loris Malaguzzi (1920–1994)
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
