متن کاملLiving with OI = Osteogenesis imperfecta = brittle bone disease
Osteogenesis imperfecta (“OI” or “Brittle bones”) is a rare genetic disorder of the connective tissue characterised by bone fragility. Other symptoms that may occur are: short stature, hearing impairment, skeletal deformities, loose joints or fragile teeth. At present OI cannot be cured.
