Understanding Osteogenesis Imperfecta: Causes, Types, and Treatment

Osteogenesis Imperfecta is a genetic disorder affecting bones, with various types ranging from mild to severe. It is caused by mutations in specific genes and is characterized by bone fragility, fractures, and other skeletal deformities. Diagnosis involves clinical and genetic tests. Management includes supportive care with a focus on pharmacological and orthopedic rehabilitative treatments as there is no cure for the condition.

1. Osteogenesis Osteogenesis Imperfecta: So So If If I I hold hold you break break you Imperfecta: you, I , I ll ll you? ?

2. Osteogenesis Osteogenesis Imperfecta Imperfecta Is a group of genetic disorders that mainly affect the bones

3. Frecuency Frecuency This condition affects an This condition affects an estimated 6 to 7 per 100,000 estimated 6 to 7 per 100,000 people worldwide. people worldwide.

4. Causes Mutations in the Mutations in the COL1A1, COL1A2, COL1A1, COL1A2, CRTAP, CRTAP, and and P3H1 genes cause genes cause osteogenesis imperfecta imperfecta P3H1 osteogenesis

5. Types There are at least eight recognized forms osteogenesis imperfecta, of

6. Type I Osteogenesis Most common People who have type I disease generally reach normal height and have few obvious skeletal deformities Typically causes more fractures during childhood than in adulthood. Hearing loss is pronunced and begins early in childhood

7. Type II Osteogenesis Most severe form Exhibits extreme bone fragility and frequent fractures Blue sclera may be present

8. Type III Osteogenesis Is a severe and progressively deforming type Affected individuals suffer from multiple fractures that start from the initials years of their life

9. Type IV Osteogenesis Similar to Type I Life expectancy is close to normal or completely normal Sclera-normal

10. Diagnosis Clinical Genetic Tests X- Ray

11. Treatment Osteogenesis Imperfecta has no cure An integral tratment of the osteogenesis imperfecta should be susteined fundamentally in 3 pillars: pharmacollogical, orthopedic rehabilitative treatment

12. Conclusions Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a group of genetic disorders that mainly affect the bones There are at least eight recognized forms, designated type I through type VIII. Types I and IV are the most common forms Type II is the most severe form

13. As curious fact. May 6 is the International Day of Osteogenesis Imperfecta
