Abstract
Background Osteogenesis imperfecta is a heritable disorder due to a collagen gene mutation causing a structural abnormality leading to brittle bones and osteopenia. To address the osteopenia, intravenous bisphosphonates (pamidronate) act by temporarily halting the action of osteoclasts giving time for osteoblasts to build bone. To date, there has been no local data regarding the improvement in bone mineral density of Filipino patients with osteogenesis imperfecta following treatment.
