Osteogenesis Imperfecta and Genetics
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), also known as “brittle bone disease,” is a genetic disorder characterized by fragile bones that break easily. It results from mutations in the genes responsible for producing collagen, a protein that provides strength and structure to bones and other connective tissues. The severity of OI can vary, with some individuals experiencing frequent fractures, while others may have milder symptoms.
