Abstract
Samples of human osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) bone were analyzed for osteonectin content by SDS gel electrophoresis and immunodetection on Western blots. The OI bone osteonectin content varied from normal to severely depressed. Previously, we showed that two clinically identical but genetically unrelated bovine models of OI were differentiated biochemically by their bone osteonectin content: one OI model had normal bone osteonectin while the other was severely depressed in this parameter. The data in this pilot study suggest that further investigation of bone osteonectin content may prove useful in the clinical assessment of human OI cases.Entities:
