Osteogenesis imperfecta tarda treated with sodium fluoride.

چکیده
Osteogenesis imperfecta is a disorder of connective tissue, existing in a severe form (congenita) and a milder form (tarda) both being inherited as an autosomal dominant (McKusick, 1966). Recently Aeschlimann, Grunt, and Crigler (1966) and Bilginturan and Ozsoylu (1966) reported three infants with osteogenesis imperfecta congenita who improved, as regards survival and frequency of spontaneous fractures, while on sodium fluoride for about 12 months. The effects of sodium fluoride on the clinical course of a child with osteogenesis imperfecta tarda are described.

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) tarda dominant type is caused by mutations in the type I collagen genes, COL1A1 and COL1A2. The essence of our haplotype analysis of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) was to get information about the value of 8 short tandem repeat (STR) markers for the segregation of COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes on the 12 OI pedigrees and to delimit the place of mutation to one locus. The mol...
