Osteogenesis imperfecta is a phenotypically and molecularly heterogeneous group of inherited connective tissue disorders that share similar skeletal abnormalities causing bone fragility and deformity. Previously, the disorder was thought to be an autosomal dominant bone dysplasia caused by defects in type I collagen, but in the past 10 years ...

OMICS Profiling Identifies Signatures of Senescence in Osteogenesis Imperfecta Osteoblasts Counteracted by 4-PBA. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Mutations in collagen I are the most common cause of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), leading to delayed protein folding and structurally abnormal molecules. While some aberrant collagen is secreted into the extracellular matrix (ECM), impairing bone quality, a significant fraction is retained intracellularly, disrupting osteoblast homeostasis. 4‐

Evaluation of Vibration Analysis to Assess Bone Mineral Density in Children [PDF]
The effectiveness of vibration analysis to assess bone mineral density (BMD) in children with suspected reduction in bone density was studied. A system was designed that measured the ulna's vibration responses in vivo.

Accidental Diagnosis of Type VII Osteogenesis Imperfecta in an Infant Presenting With Pneumonia and Rickets‐Like Rib Fractures: A Case Report [PDF]
ABSTRACT This case report describes a newborn diagnosed with Type VII Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) following an incidental finding of rib fractures during evaluation for pneumonia. The patient presented with multiple fractures, including deformities and callus formations in the ribs and extremities, initially raising concerns for differential diagnoses

Growth characteristics in individuals with osteogenesis imperfecta in North America: results from a multicenter study. [PDF]
PurposeOsteogenesis imperfecta (OI) predisposes people to recurrent fractures, bone deformities, and short stature. There is a lack of large-scale systematic studies that have investigated growth parameters in OI.MethodsUsing data from the Linked ...

Ptosis as a unique hallmark for autosomal recessive WNT1-associated osteogenesis imperfecta [PDF]
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heritable connective tissue disorder, mainly characterized by bone fragility and low bone mass. Defects in the type I procollagen-encoding genes account for the majority of OI, but increasingly more rare autosomal ...

6'-Methoxy Raloxifene-analog enhances mouse bone properties with reduced estrogen receptor binding [PDF]
Raloxifene (RAL) is an FDA-approved drug used to treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. RAL suppresses bone loss primarily through its role as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM).
