Osteogenesis imperfecta is a genetic disorder of increased bone fragility, low bone mass, and other connective-tissue manifestations. The most frequently used classification outlines four clinical types, which we have expanded to seven distinct types. In most patients the disorder is caused by mutations in one of the two genes encoding collagen type 1,

Osteogenesis imperfecta describes a group of heritable disorders characterized by excessive bony fragility and reduced skeletal mass. It is classified in terms of its clinical manifestations, but our understanding of the underlying genetic defects in collagen synthesis is increasing rapidly.

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetically determined disorder of connective tissue characterized by bone fragility. The disease state encompasses a phenotypically and genotypically heterogeneous group of inherited disorders that result from mutations in the genes that code for type I collagen.

It is now virtually certain that the brittle bone syndrome results from a variety of mutations in the alpha chains of type I collagen. Whilst the increasing biochemical knowledge makes prenatal diagnosis sometimes possible, the care of those with severe physical disability still provides a clinical challenge which is not always met.

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is the most common genetic disease of bone and is characterized by fragile bones and growth disorders of varying severity. Most cases of OI are inherited autosomal dominant and caused by a mutation in the collagen type I gene.Indications for OI are bone fragility, stunted growth, scoliosis, skull deformities, blue sclera ...

Annual Review of Medicine, 1992
Recent biochemical, linkage, and molecular genetic studies have demonstrated that, in almost every instance, osteogenesis imperfecta results from mutations in the genes that encode the chains of type I collagen. Such studies have done much to improve our understanding of the molecular basis of brittle bone disease, and have provided significant inroads

Osteogenesis Imperfecta is a heritable disorder characterized by bone fragility and low bone mass, with a wide spectrum of clinical expression. This review gives an update on its classification, the recent developments in the understanding of its pathophysiological mechanisms, and the current status of bisphosphonate therapy.

Der Orthopäde, 2012
The classic Sillence classification of the four types of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) has been extended by six additional forms in recent years. OI is a heterogeneous disease, which can exhibit a mild, moderate and severe clinical picture. The clinical variability is expressed by a different frequency of fracture incidences and bone deformity risks so ...

Craniofacial Distraction Osteogenesis
Seminars in Plastic Surgery, 2023AbstractDistraction osteogenesis (DO) of the craniofacial skeleton has become an effective technique for the treatment of both nonsyndromic and syndromic conditions. The advent of craniofacial DO has allowed for earlier intervention in pediatric patients with less complication risk and morbidity compared to traditional techniques.

James Sidman, MD, and Sherard A. Tatum, MD, address the following questions for discussion and debate. Is neonatal distraction osteogenesis (DO) better than lip-tongue adhesion or tracheotomy for micrognathic airway compromise? What role does DO have in adult orthognathic surgery situations?
