Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare skeletal dysplasia with an incidence of 1/15,000 to 20,000. OI is characterized by bone fragility, bone deformities, frequent fractures, and stunted growth. As a result of impaired type I collagen production in several tissues, those with OI may suffer from brittle teeth, hearing loss, blue sclera, diminished respiratory function, and valve regurgitation. The severity of this condition can range from mild to extremely severe.
