Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top 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.

Osteogénesis imperfecta Qué es la osteogénesis imperfecta Investigación y terapia Organizaciones Foros ... Apadrinar a un niño Bienvenidos Me llamo María Barbero. Mi hijo Pablo tiene osteogénesis imperfecta, una enfermedad congénita bastante rara que afecta a los huesos y a otros tejidos del organismo. Se la suele llamar «la enfermedad de los huesos de cristal», y se abrevia internacionalmente como OI. Se trata de una dolencia con una incidencia relativamente baja entre la población. Los médicos no suelen estar familiarizados con ella; son muy pocos los que tienen experiencia con estos enfermos, y menos aún los que pueden considerarse especialistas. Como ocurre con tantas otras enfermedades, un tratamiento no adecuado puede ocasionar graves perjuicios a los enfermos. Mi intención al preparar mi página es ofrecer a los interesados información general en español sobre la osteogénesis imperfecta y algunos enlaces interesantes (principalmente en inglés) sobre esta enfermedad. No tengo formación médica ni pretendo sentar cátedra con mis opiniones y mis experiencias con la OI. Aunque soy miembro de varias asociaciones de OI, mi página no depende de nadie. Durante los últimos años he ido recopilando información sobre la enfermedad y me gustaría ponerla al alcance de otras familias de afectados, para que no empiecen su búsqueda dando palos de ciego, como yo empecé.

What is osteogenesis imperfecta? Osteogenesis Imperfecta is a genetic disorder characterized by bones that break easily, often from little or no apparent cause. There are at least four forms of this disorder, ranging in severity. What is OI caused from? bodyOffer(892) OI is caused by a genetic defect that affects the body's production of collagen. Collagen is the major protein of the body's connective tissue. A person who has OI has either not enough collagen or a poor quality of collagen, this leads to weak bones that fracture easily. What are the four types of OI and their characteristics? There are four types of Osteogenesis Imperfecta, they are typed for the severity and charactaristics. Type I: Type one OI is the most common and least severe form of OI. A person with type one would have one or more of the following characteristics: Bones that fracture easily, normal or near normal stature. Loose joints and low muscle tone. Sclera (whites of the eyes) usually have a blue, purple or gray tint. Triangular face, thay have a tendency toward spinal curvature. Bone deformity absent or minimal. Brittle teeth and hearing loss are a possibility. Type II: Type two is the most severe form of OI. Most cases have reported death at birth or shortly after. Numerous fractures and severe bone deformity is normal. Small stature with underdeveloped lungs. Collagen is improperly formed.

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.

Home Shrine Shriners Hospitals Hospital Directory ... Donate to Shriners Hospitals for Children online Back to Tampa Shriners Hospital New Hope for Children with Osteogenesis Imperfecta The Shriners Hospital for Children in Tampa is participating in a multicenter research study to evaluate the oral drug, alendronate as a possible medical treatment for children with severe Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI). Alendronate is a drug currently approved by the FDA for use in the treatment of osteoporosis. We wish to determine if taking alendronate for two years will result in thicker, stronger bones, reduce skeletal pain, improve how well patients get about and reduce fracture rates in children with OI. Osteogenesis Imperfecta can literally be translated as "imperfectly formed bones." Most forms of OI are caused by imperfectly formed bone collagen that results from a genetic defect. It is believed that there are between 20, 000 and 40, 000 people with OI in the United States. Patients age 4-18 years who are eligible to participate in this study include type III or IV OI and type I OI with either: chronic pain, 3 or more fractures per year for the previous 2 years, or limb deformity requiring surgical correction. To find out more about this alendronate research study at the Shriners Hospital for Children in Tampa, please contact the Clinical Research Associate, Nancy Pisciotto, RN, ONC at 813-975-7130, or email

Glossary Related Resources Within UMM Dept. of Orthopaedics Kernan Hospital Skeletal Radiology Bone Diseases Osteogenesis Imperfecta What is osteogenesis imperfecta? Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), also known as brittle-bone disease, is a genetic (inherited) disorder characterized by bones that break easily without a specific cause. An estimated 20,000 to 50,000 people in the US have this disease. The disorder occurs in one out of 20,000 to one out of 60,000 live births. OI can affect males and females of all races. What causes osteogenesis imperfecta? The cause of OI is believed to be due to a genetic defect that causes imperfectly-formed, or an inadequate amount of, bone collagen - a protein found in the connective tissue. What are the types and symptoms of OI? The following are the most common symptoms for osteogenesis imperfecta. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Although symptoms may vary, generally they are used to classify the four forms of OI, each of which represents the severity of the condition. According to the Osteoporosis and Related Bone Diseases National Resource Center, part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the types of OI and their symptoms include the following:

Ziekten en aandoeningen Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) Korte beschrijving Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is een zeldzame aangeboren aandoening van het steungevende weefsel. Daartoe behoren ondermeer botten, tandbeen, gewrichtskapsels en het steunweefsel van de huid. Door de afwijkende bouw zijn deze weefsels minder stevig: botten kunnen bijvoorbeeld makkelijk breken of kromgroeien. Ook kunnen andere verschijnselen voorkomen zoals blauw oogwit, doofheid, achterblijven in groei, abnormaal beweeglijke gewrichten en afwijkingen aan het gebit. Diagnose Naast het hebben van bovengenoemde verschijnselen, wordt de diagnose met genetisch en klinisch radiologisch onderzoek bevestigd. Behandeling Een methode om OI echt te genezen is er nog niet. Wel kunnen voor patiënt en familie de gevolgen van de aandoening zoveel mogelijk worden beperkt door een goede medische, psychologische en maatschappelijke begeleiding.
