Ch14 Bone Path (Part I) Flashcards
Prevelance of Osteogenesis Imperfecta?
6 to 7 per 100,000
What % of cases of Osteogenesis Imperfecta are AD?
90%
In 90% of AD cases of OI, which two genes are mutated? What do they code for?
COL1A1 or COL1A2 they code for Type 1 collagen
Since THIS TYPE OF COLLAGEN is present in bone, dentin, sclerae, ligaments, and skin, OI can affect all of them
TYPE 1 COLLAGEN
Problems in production of Type 1 collagen in OI lead to low ______ strength, therefore making bone _____
LOW TENSILE STRENGTH…brittle
What is the most common form of Osteogenesis Imperfecta?
Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type I, its also the mildest
What is the MOST SEVERE form of Osteogenesis Imperfecta? What is the typical survival of this pt?
Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type II…likely die in utero or shortly after birth
What are the 3 clinical presentations of Osteogenesis Imperfecta?
- blue sclerae 2. hearing loss 3. joint hyperextensibility / contracture
What are the 4 radiographic hallmarks of Osteogenesis Imperfecta?
1.osteopenia 2. bowing of the long bones 3. multiple fractures 4.increased # of Wormian bones in the skull (also seen in CLEIDOCRANIAL DYSPLASIA)
The dental alterations (clinically and radiographically) in Osteogenesis Imperfecta are IDENTICAL to what other entity? Which 2 types of OI specifically?
Dentinogenesis Imperfecta.. Types III and IV OI
What three colors are associated with the dentition in OI or DI?
blue, brown, yellow translucence
Radiographs of OI (and therefore DI) teeth reveal?
premature pulpal obliteration
What do the tooth roots in OI / DI look like?
narrow or CORNCOB-shaped
Since OI and DI are separate entities, but have similar radiographic features for the teeth, what is the proper term for teeth to describe OI?
Opalescent teeth
OI patients have an increased prevalence of which malocclusion?
Class III (maxillary hypoplasia)
What is a medication threatment that can possibly reduce fractures, increase mobility in a child with OI?
IV Bisphosphonates
OI Types: Mild phenotype, minimal bone deformity, bone fractures, normal or near normal stature, blue sclerae, joint laxity, hearing loss, rarely opalescent teeth
Type I
OI Types: Type I mutated gene?
COL1A1 (null allele)
OI Types: Perinatal lethal, multiple fractures of ribs and long bones, respiratory distress, limb deformities, dark blue sclerae
Type II
OI Types: Type II mutated gene(s)?
COL1A1, COL1A2
OI Types: Severely deforming, very short stature, frequent fractures, wheelchair-dependent at an early age, triangular facies, coxa vara, “popcorn calcifications” of femoral head, blue-gray sclerae, often opalescent teeth, most patients die during childhood secondary to complications of kyphoscoliosis
Type III
OI Types: Type III mutated gene(s)?
COL1A1, COL1A2
OI Types: Mild to moderate bone fragility and deformity, white to gray sclerae, often opalescent teeth
Type IV
OI Types: Type IV mutated gene(s)?
COL1A1, COL1A2
What are two other names for Osteopetrosis?
Albers-Schonberg Disease, Marble bone disease
What is the cell to blame in osteopetrosis?
failure of osteoclast function or differentiation
What are the three disease subtypes in osteopetrosis?
1.AR infantile (malignant) type 2.AR intermediate type 3.AD adult (benign) type
This severe form usually is diagnosed at birth or in early
infancy. Typical findings include a diffusely sclerotic skeleton, bone marrow failure, frequent fractures, cranial nerve compression, and growth impairment.
Autosomal Recessive Infantile Osteopetrosis
