Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), also known as Brittle Bone Disease, is a heritable disorder of connective tissue. Its hallmark feature is bone fragility, with a tendency to fracture from minimal trauma or from the work of bearing weight against gravity. In the more severeVirtual Medical Centre Com...
Osteogenesis imperfecta, also known as 'brittle bone disease', is an inherited connective tissue disorder caused by defects in type 1 collagen. The disease results in low bone mass and reduced bone strength, often manifesting as multiple intrauterine fractures, skeletal abnormalities and death before ...
Osteogenesis Imperfecta(OI) is a group ofgenetic disordersthat primarily affect the bones, making them extremely weak. It is also known as ‘brittle bones disease’. This genetic disease is incurable and the treatment is primarily focused on pacifying the condition by reducing pain an...

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), also known as brittle bone disease, is a genetic disorder of connective tissue and is identified by bone dysplasia and fragility (Martin and Shapiro2007; Forlino and Marini2016). With an estimated 25,000-50,0000 cases in the United States, it affects approximately...
