Extractions: 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. Note the irregular motheaten appearance of the long bones of the arm. Examinations Photographs Movies Links ... noJava Home

Extractions: Home Up Neurofibromatosis Pyknodysostosis ... Asphyxiating thoracic dysplasia [ Osteogenesis imperfecta ] Dyschondrosteoses Osteogenesis imperfecta comprises a group of conditions which result in several different types of limb shortening (often micromelic) and dwarfism. The underlying cause is a defect in type I collagen synthesis resulting in skeletal, ligament, skin, sclera, and dentin abnormalities. Either too little normal collagen or variable quantities of abnormal collagen are produced. The majority of cases are autosomal dominant in transmission, with approximately 25 % due to spontaneous mutations. The incidence is between 1 and 20,000 to 60,000 births. Four types of osteogenesis imperfecta exist: Type I ("Tarda") Most common and mildest form, autosomal dominant Mildly fragile bones which may fracture at delivery May have short stature Loose joints Blue sclerae Brittle teeth Hearing loss, beginning in the second decade of life Normal collagen structure, but produced in abnormally low amounts Type II ("Congenita")

Extractions: 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

The grants, which total $1.6 million, support research activities ranging from cutting-edge gene and cell therapies to testing drug treatments in mouse models. "These projects seize new research opportunities for rare genetic disorders like osteogenesis imperfecta," said NIAMS Director Stephen I. Katz, M.D., Ph.D. "We are excited about their potential for improved diagnosis and treatment, and encouraged by the hope they bring to people with osteogenesis imperfecta and their families."

Extractions: Findings: A. Initial radiograph from this three-week-old child demonstrates the findings of diffuse osteoporosis, and healing oblique fractures of the femoral diaphyses. Bowing deformities of the markedly foreshortened femora, tibiae, and fibulae can be observed. B. Subsequent examination obtained seven months later describes advanced healing of the previously demonstrated femoral fractures. Gradually increasing lower extremity weight bearing by the patient has resulted in progressive bowing deformity of the osteoporotic long bones. C. Examination of the right lower extremity obtained six days after "B" demonstrates a new oblique fracture of the right femoral diaphysis. Diagnosis: Osteogenesis Imperfecta Discussion: OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA is a relatively common heterogeneous disorder characterized and sub-classified by age of onset and clinical course, and by the presence/absence of: 1)dentinogenesis imperfecta; 2) blue sclerae; and 3) hearing impairment. Sub-classifications (Types I-IV) are also defined, in part, by inheritance pattern and salient radiographic features. The principal biochemical defects related to osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) result in the impairment of early stages in the synthesis of connective tissue fibers, as well as faulty cross- linking of the resultant fibers into adult Type I collagen.

Extractions: 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:

Extractions: *For Medical Professionals only, registration required Osteogenesis imperfecta, an inherited disorder of connective tissue in which various structures are affected (skeleton, ligaments, skin, sclerae and denting), expressed either as an abnormal synthesis (quantity) or abnormal structure (quality) of procollagen I. Osteogenesis imperfecta has four major clinical criteria, the presence of two of which are required to make the diagnosis: osteoporosis with abnormal fragility of the skeleton; blue sclera; dentinogenesis imperfecta ; and premature otosclerosis. Among the other manifestations of osteogenesis imperfecta are ligamentous laxity, easy bruisability, constipation, hyperplastic scars and premature vascular calcifications. Although classically two forms have been recognized (the congenita form, which has a high infant mortality rate, and the tarda form, in which life expectancy is normal), a newer classification system based on a combination of clinical, radiographic and genetic factors has largely replaced these terms (Table 1).
