Function
Type I collagen is a member of group I collagen (fibrillar forming collagen).
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix
Tissue Specificity: Forms the fibrils of tendon, ligaments and bones. In bones the fibrils are mineralized with calcium hydroxyapatite
Disease Association: Caffey disease (CAFYD) : An autosomal dominant disorder characterized by an infantile episode of massive subperiosteal new bone formation that typically involves the diaphyses of the long bones, mandible, and clavicles. The involved bones may also appear inflamed, with painful swelling and systemic fever often accompanying the illness. The bone changes usually begin before 5 months of age and resolve before 2 years of age. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry] | Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, classic type, 1 (EDSCL1) : A form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a group of connective tissue disorders characterized by skin hyperextensibility, articular hypermobility, and tissue fragility. The main features of classic Ehlers-Danlos syndrome are joint hypermobility and dislocation, and fragile, bruisable skin. EDSCL1 inheritance is autosomal dominant. [The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry] | Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, arthrochalasia type, 1 (EDSARTH1) : A form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder characterized by hyperextensible skin, atrophic cutaneous scars due to tissue fragility and joint hyperlaxity. EDSARTH1 is an autosomal dominant form characterized by frequent congenital hip dislocation and extreme joint laxity with recurrent joint subluxations and minimal skin involvement.

Disease severity ranges from very mild forms without fractures to intrauterine fractures and perinatal lethality. Extraskeletal manifestations, which affect a variable number of patients, are dentinogenesis imperfecta, hearing loss, and blue sclerae. OI1 is a non-deforming form with normal height or mild short stature, and no dentinogenesis imperfecta.

Disease severity ranges from very mild forms without fractures to intrauterine fractures and perinatal lethality. Extraskeletal manifestations, which affect a variable number of patients, are dentinogenesis imperfecta, hearing loss, and blue sclerae. OI2 is characterized by bone fragility, with many perinatal fractures, severe bowing of long bones, undermineralization, and death in the perinatal period due to respiratory insufficiency. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry] | Osteogenesis imperfecta 3 (OI3) : An autosomal dominant form of osteogenesis imperfecta, a disorder of bone formation characterized by low bone mass, bone fragility and susceptibility to fractures after minimal trauma. Disease severity ranges from very mild forms without fractures to intrauterine fractures and perinatal lethality. Extraskeletal manifestations, which affect a variable number of patients, are dentinogenesis imperfecta, hearing loss, and blue sclerae. OI3 is characterized by progressively deforming bones, very short stature, a triangular face, severe scoliosis, grayish sclera and dentinogenesis imperfecta. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry] | Osteogenesis imperfecta 4 (OI4) : An autosomal dominant form of osteogenesis imperfecta, a disorder of bone formation characterized by low bone mass, bone fragility and susceptibility to fractures after minimal trauma. Disease severity ranges from very mild forms without fractures to intrauterine fractures and perinatal lethality. Extraskeletal manifestations, which affect a variable number of patients, are dentinogenesis imperfecta, hearing loss, and blue sclerae. OI4 is characterized by moderately short stature, mild to moderate scoliosis, grayish or white sclera and dentinogenesis imperfecta. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry] | Combined osteogenesis imperfecta and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome 1 (OIEDS1) : An autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder characterized by osteopenia, bone fragility, long bone fractures, blue sclerae, joint hyperextensibility, soft and hyperextensible skin, abnormal wound healing, easy bruising, and vascular fragility. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry] | Osteoporosis (OSTEOP) : A systemic skeletal disorder characterized by decreased bone mass and deterioration of bone microarchitecture without alteration in the composition of bone. The result is fragile bones and an increased risk of fractures, even after minimal trauma. Osteoporosis is a chronic condition of multifactorial etiology and is usually clinically silent until a fracture occurs.
