Therapeutical Perspectives in Osteogenesis Imperfecta
Osteogenesis imperfecta is a genetic disease for which no cure is yet known. It is one of the most common skeletal dysplasias. It causes the osteoblasts to grow poorly, slowing the growth of children with the disease and causing their bones to break easily.

متن کاملOsteogenesis imperfecta.
Our clinical files on osteogenesis imperfecta are brought up-to-date reviewing a total of 33,555 cases admitted between 4/XII/48 and 31/VIII/76. From these, 5 clinical cases were found. The extreme rareness of this regional pathology in our Cátedra y Sericio de Pediatría, which is the largest concentration center in Paraguay had led us to make this publication. From our casuistics, we may singl...
متن کاملOsteogenesis imperfecta: from diagnosis and multidisciplinary treatment to future perspectives.
Osteogenesis imperfecta is an inherited connective tissue disorder with wide phenotypic and molecular heterogeneity. A common issue associated with the molecular abnormality is a disturbance in bone matrix synthesis and homeostasis inducing bone fragility. In very early life, this can lead to multiple fractures and progressive bone deformities, including long bone bowing and scoliosis. Multidis...
