Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), often referred to as brittle bone disease, is a genetic condition characterized by fragile bones that are prone to fractures.

There are several recognized types of Osteogenesis Imperfecta, each with varying degrees of severity:

  • Type I: Mild, most common form
  • Type II: Severe, often lethal in infancy
  • Type III: Progressive deformities, fractures, and shorter stature
  • Type IV: Moderately severe, variable deformities
  • Type V: Variable features, characterized by ossification of the interosseous membrane

    Symptoms of Osteogenesis Imperfecta can include frequent fractures, blue sclerae (the white part of the eyes), hearing loss, and joint hypermobility.

    Genetic mutations affecting the production of collagen, a key component of bone strength, are responsible for Osteogenesis Imperfecta. The severity of the condition can vary widely, even among individuals with the same type.

    Treatment for Osteogenesis Imperfecta focuses on managing symptoms and preventing fractures. This may involve physical therapy, assistive devices, medications to strengthen bones, and surgical interventions in some cases.

    Ongoing research is aimed at developing new therapies and interventions for Osteogenesis Imperfecta, with a focus on improving the quality of life for individuals affected by this genetic disorder. Genetic counselling is often recommended for families with a history of Osteogenesis Imperfecta to assess the risk of passing the condition to future generations.
