Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), also known as "brittle bone disease," is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a defect in the production of collagen, a protein that provides strength and structure to bones. Collagen is an essential component of the connective tissues in the body, including bones, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. Due to the genetic defect, individuals with Osteogenesis Imperfecta have bones that are more fragile and susceptible to fractures, even with minor trauma or sometimes without any apparent cause.
The severity of Osteogenesis Imperfecta can vary widely, ranging from mild cases where fractures may be infrequent and less severe to severe cases with frequent and serious fractures. The condition can also cause other skeletal issues, such as spinal curvature (scoliosis), short stature, weak teeth (dentinogenesis imperfecta), and blue-gray tint to the whites of the eyes (blue sclerae).
OI is typically inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means a child has a 50% chance of inheriting the condition if one of the parents carries the defective gene. In some cases, Osteogenesis Imperfecta can occur due to a spontaneous genetic mutation, without any family history of the condition.
