  1. Specific Aims • To establish animal models for investigating the role of COL2A1 gene mutations in osteonecrosis • To establish cell models for investigating the role of COL2A1 gene mutations in osteonecrosis • To identify genetic risk factors associated with sporadic ANFH

  2. Col2a1 Transgenic Mouse Model G2306A G3665A Gly717Ser Gly1170Ser Human Mouse BC052326 Gly1102Ser Gly649Ser G3425A G2066A Transgene constructs Wildtype Mutant *hG1170S

  3. Col2a1 Knock-in Mouse Model • Total 13.2 Kb • 5’arm (exon 39 to 47): 3.3 Kb • pGK-Puro: 1.6 Kb • 3’arm (exon 48 to 52): 3.0 Kb • G to A transition was created by site-directed mutagenesis • TK: 2.2 Kb

  4. Non-Mendelian Ratio in Mouse Breeding

  5. Litter 2. Pedigree for Col2a1 Knock-in Mice (E15.5)

  6. Litter 5. Pedigree for Col2a1 Knock-in Mice (E17.5)

  7. Head E17.5 WT KI/KI dorsal ventral

  8. Thorax E17.5 WT KI/KI dorsal ventral

  9. E17.5 WT KI/KI Tail Piggy tail Leg

  10. Litter 6. Pedigree for Col2a1 Knock-in Mice (E 18.5) • Abnormal appearance (exencephaly-like, spina bifida-like) was observed in three heterozygotes. #1 #8

  11. Variable Phenotypes of Col2A1 Knock-in Mice • Reduced number of KI/KI adult and live born • Fetal demise occurred after 18.5 d.p.c. in KI/KI • Minimum/little phenotype of KI/+ live born • Developmental anomalies in KI/+ or KI/KI: • cleft palate in KI/KI • skull defect (exencephaly) in KI/KI or KI/+ • spine defect (spina bifida) in KI/KI or KI/+

  12. COL2A1 Mutation in Pediatric Cases of Osteonecrosis

  13. Variable Expression of Disease Phenotype • Modifier genes • Stochastic • randomly determined; having a random probability distribution or pattern that may be analyzed statistically but may not be predicted precisely.

  14. Mutation of type I Collagen Gene • 成骨不全症(Osteogenesis imperfecta，OI)，是一種先天性遺傳疾病，出現在男女的比例上大約相同，這種疾病會造成第一型膠原纖維缺陷，使骨骼忍受外力衝擊的能力較正常人差，即使是輕微的碰撞，也會造成嚴重的骨折，因此這類的病患被稱為「玻璃娃娃」。
