Osteogenesis imperfecta type I: A case report

Abstract: A 15-year-old male patient was admitted to hospital having experienced repeated fractures over the previous three years, predominantly due to falling down or overexertion. The clinical signs and radiological features, such as recurrent fractures, blue sclera and low bone mineral density (BMD) level, all led to the diagnosis of a mild form of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) type I. The patient began treatment with a regular intake of calcium (1,000 mg/day), an adequate intake of vitamin D (800 U/day) and intraveno… Show more

“…Patients with mild symptoms have normal quality of life with minor fractures, while those with severe symptoms may be accompanied by severe fractures, physical disability, or even a reduced life span ( 12 ). OI might also cause coagulation dysfunction, airway obstruction, delayed wound healing, and other conditions ( 13 ). Most OI patients are more likely to suffer from multiple fractures in their childhood.…”

“…The hallmark of OI is an increased vulnerability to fractures ranging from slight to pre-natal. Other common features include a distinct blue sclera, hyper-elastic skin and ligaments, impaired hearing, bone deformities, short statures and dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI) [4]. With an incidence of 1 in 10,000-20,000 births, it also results in abnormal blood coagulation, airway obstruction and cardiovascular anomalies [4].…”

“…The various phenotypic variations all result from mutations in one of two genes, COL1A1 and COL1A2 which encode for pro-α1(I) or pro-α2(I) chains of type I collagen [5] which results in defective qualitative or quantitative integrity of type I collagen, the principal protein in bones and the extracellular matrix [4].…”
