Encyclopedia (English) Toggle English Spanish Osteogenesis imperfecta Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention Definition: Osteogenesis imperfecta is a congenital (present from birth) condition of abnormal fragility of the bones. Alternative Names: Brittle bone disease Causes, incidence, and risk factors: This bone disorder is usually present at birth as an inherited disease. Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is classified into four major types (and further subtypes). All four types of OI are caused by defects in the amount or structure of Type 1 collagen, an important part of the bone matrix. The collagen problem usually results from a dominant genetic defect. This defect may be acquired by several different mechanisms: The defect may be inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern from an affected parent. This means that an affected parent, who carries a single gene for the disorder, has a 50% chance of having children with the disorder. Any child who inherits this gene will be affected. The defect may be acquired by a spontaneous mutation occurring in the individual egg or sperm that formed the child. In this case, neither parent carries a gene for the disorder or is affected by it. The parents, in this case, are no more at risk than the general population for having another child with the disorder.

Home OI News Clinic Staff ... You Can Help Osteogenesis Imperfecta An estimated 50,000 people in the United States live with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a genetically-based skeletal disorder characterized by abnormally brittle bones. Despite its prevalence and frequently severe effects, many people don't know this disorder exists. In fact, some parents who are not aware that their child has OI, have been accused of child abuse when they are unable to explain the cause of their child's fractures. What causes OI? OI originates from a mutation in one of the two genes responsible for making Type 1 collagen, the protein of connective tissue, cartilage and bone. As a result of this mutation, affected individuals develop either collagen of poor quality or an insufficient amount of collagen. Both conditions cause brittleness of the bones. How severe is OI? Because of the extreme variability of the disorder - OI is classified into four types based on symptoms and etiology (gene mutation versus heredity) - its severity varies widely from case to case. Individuals with OI can experience as few as ten fractures in a lifetime or several hundred. They may be completely ambulatory or they may rely entirely on a wheelchair for mobility. Persons with a mild form of the disorder may not discover they have OI until later in life. Some cases of OI begin to affect individuals even before they are born. In these instances, trauma to the skull during delivery can lead to brain damage or stillbirth. What is life like for individuals with OI?

Long Bones: General demineralization; short, telescoped long bones secondary to in utero fractures. The provisional zones of calcification are preserved (ends of long bones are sharp). Ribs: Beaded appearance secondary to multiple fractures. Diagnosis Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) Discussion This combination of findings is diagnostic of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) type II. OI is an inherited disorder of collagen maturation which results in abnormal skeletal, ligament, skin, sclera, and dentin formation. The four major clinical criteria are osteoporosis blue sclerae dentingenesis imperfecta premature otosclerosis Two of these clinical criteria are needed for the diagnosis.

osteogenesis imperfecta This baby's extremities are positioned oddly because there have been multiple fractures due to osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). This disease leads to multiple fractures. The basic problem is a defect in the formation of type 1 collagen that forms bone matrix. There are several types of OI with different inheritance patterns. This is a lethal form of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) in which the fractures even appear in utero, as revealed by this radiograph of a stillborn fetus.
