An inherited connective tissue disorder featuring bone fragility and blue sclerae (blue whites of the eyes). This is the classic form of “brittle bone disease.” Osteogenesis imperfecta type 1 is an autosomal dominant trait. (One copy of the mutant gene is enough to cause the disease in males and females in successive generations.) The disease […]
- Osteogenesis imperfecta type 2
An inherited connective tissue disorder with extremely severe bone fragility. This is the lethal form of “brittle bone disease.” Osteogenesis imperfecta type 2 is a recessive trait with males and females affected. Two copies of the mutant gene are needed to cause the disease. The disease is characterized by short limb dwarfism, thin skin, soft […]
- Osteogenesis imperfecta with blue sclerae
Osteogenesis imperfecta type I.
- Osteogenesis, electrically stimulated
Bone growth caused by implanting electrodes in an area of bone and sending electrical current to them. This procedure may be used to jump-start the healing process when a bone has been broken.
- Osteoid osteoma
A benign tumor of bone tissue. Osteoid osteoma emerges most often in a person?s teens or 20s and is found most frequently in the femur and in males. Symptoms include pain, mostly at night.
