Determine the genotype and phenotype of the parents?
A child is born with a rare genetic disease, osteogenesis imperfecta IIB. Determine what are/is the most probable phenotype and genotype of the parents of this child.
Most infants with more severe forms of osteogenesis imperfecta (such as type II and type III) have no history of the condition in their family. In these infants, the condition is caused by new (sporadic) mutations in the COL1A1 or COL1A2 gene.
