Abnormalities in type I procollagen genes (COL1A1 and COL1A2) are responsible for hereditary connective tissue disorders including osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), specific types of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), and COL1-related overlapping disorder (C1ROD). C1ROD is a recently proposed disorder characterized by predominant EDS symptoms of joint and skin laxity and mild OI symptoms of bone fragility and blue sclera. Patients with C1ROD do not carry specific variants for COL1-related EDS, including classical, vascular, cardiac-valvular, and arthrochalasia types.

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare connective tissue disorder with clinical and genetic heterogeneity. The cardinal features of OI are bone fragility and low bone mineral density (BMD). Pathogenic variants in COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes, which encode the proα-1(I) and proα-2(I) chains of Type 1 collagen, are the most common causes of OI.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type arthrochalasia (aEDS) is a rare genetic disease characterized by severe generalized joint hypermobility, bilateral congenital hip dislocation, skin hyperextensibility, muscle hypotonia, and mild dysmorphic features. It is an autosomal dominant connective tissue disease causing defects in collagen, associated with two genes, COL1A1 or COL1A2. Only about 42 cases have been published worldwide.

Arthrochalasia type Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a connective tissue disease characterized by severe generalized joint hypermobility, congenital bilateral hip dislocations, and recurrent joint subluxations and dislocations. Only one study has reported bone fragility resulting in fractures. The genetic abnormality underlying this disorder is a variant in the gene causing entire or partial loss of exon 6, resulting in defective type 1 collagen synthesis.
