The disease is caused by a genetic disorder that affects collagen development. Collagen is a protein important to the development of bones and other tissues, such as tendons, skin, and ligaments. This lack of collagen results in broken bones and deformity. This disease can have mild to very severe symptoms and can be difficult to diagnose. The diagnosis is based on patient symptoms such as: history of fractures height bone deformity walking problems (sometimes due to unrecognized fractures) and hearing loss There are currently no treatment therapies that can alter growth or fracture rates. For this reason, the treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta is directed toward maintaining function by: reducing the risk of broken bones, through preventive measures

Patricia Hazard, C.O. Osteogenesis Imperfecta (O.I.) is more commonly known as "brittle bone disease." The bones are abnormally fragile and will fracture with only minor trauma. Other features of O.I. are weakness, deformity and dwarfism. Bowed long bones and barrel shaped chest are also common. Children of this disease have average to above average intelligence and unimpaired hand function. The primary focus of this paper concerns a specific case presented to Children's Hospital at Stanford. Rehabilitation Engineering Center. At age two, RH., diagnosed with O.I. type III, its most severe form, was presented to us with a prescription for "a total containment orthosis for support in an upright position." At birth R.H. sustained approximately 22 fractures due to his fragile nature, and great care was required to move or position him. R.H. rests almost exclusively supine and has never borne weight on his lower extremities. He can be held in an upright position, non-weight bearing for only a short period of time before complaining of dizziness. The physiologic advantages of being upright in an erect position include improved kidney and bladder drainage, better cardiopulmonary function, and enhanced bone strength from the effects of gravity on the skeletal system.

Congenital and Hereditary Disorders : Osteogenesis Imperfecta E-mail this page Print this page 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. What causes osteogenesis imperfecta (OI)? The cause of osteogenesis imperfecta (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. 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 are the symptoms of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI)? The following are the most common symptoms for osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Although symptoms may vary, generally they are used to classify the four forms of OI, each of which represents varying grades of 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:

printer friendly BRITTLE BONE DISEASES Osteogenesis Imperfecta home more about us in your area conditions information ... how you can help search this site Did you find this page helpful? yes no Brittle Bone diseases: Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) Brittle bone diseases are caused by an abnormality in collagen protein that the body needs for bones as well as other structures such as skin, ligaments and teeth. The condition often leads to an increased likelihood of fractures. Abnormalities in other collagen containing tissues leads to additional problems in some patients such as lax joints, fragile teeth, blue or grey sclera (whites of eyes) and bruising. Some people with OI have short stature and some develop deafness, particularly in the teenage years or their twenties. There are a number of types of brittle bone disease that can vary in severity from mild, in which the patient may not be correctly diagnosed and children may simply be thought to be accident prone, through to severe in which babies have multiple fractures even before birth. The frequency of fractures may increase in adolescence, following childbirth in women and during late adulthood. Fractures need to be treated but the immobilisation period should be kept to a minimum as activity allows muscles and bones to stay as strong as possible. It is important for someone with OI to have a well balanced diet with adequate calcium. There is no specific drug therapy for OI but it has been shown by that a bisphosphonate, pamidronate, can reduce bone loss, the number of fractures and the chronic pain experienced by these children; most children also become more mobile. Most children obtain maximum benefit from this drug over the first two years of treatment. Further research is needed to assess the benefits of treating children with brittle bone disease with this group of drugs. Some children may benefit from insertion of rods to support the bones. Regular monitoring of other functions such as hearing is required.

Teri E. Klein and Peter H. Byers Computer Graphics Laboratory University of California, San Francisco Department of Medical Genetics University of Washington , Seattle Collagen is a fibrous protein that provides structural and functional integrity in the human body. (See image above or download this high resolution TIFF image [7.6MB!].) Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disorder of collagen which occurs when there are mutations in the triple helix. Currently, only the diagnosis of a lethal OI phenotype can be determined in utero. Diagnosis of other OI phenotypes cannot be made until after birth. Mutations in type I collagen lead to an array of minor to lethal disorders. An understanding of the physical properties of native and mutant collagens will provide the basis for comprehending the etiology of OI phenotypes at the molecular level. This information is critical for the ultimate development of more useful genetic counseling protocols. Our strategy involves the development and application of tools to study various physical and chemical properties of collagen molecule fragments in order to predict the effects of amino acid substitution on the stabilities of the collagen helical conformation.
