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:
“If there is nothing new on the earth, still the traveler always has a resource in the skies. They are constantly turning a new page to view. The wind sets the types on this blue ground, and the inquiring may always read a new truth there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“... there are two types of happiness and I have chosen that of the murderers. For I am happy. There was a time when I thought I had reached the limit of distress. Beyond that limit, there is a sterile and magnificent happiness.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn’t make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting—the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.”
—Saul Bellow (b. 1915)
