Q

osteogenesis imperfecta types

A

collagen disorder. decreased synth (type 1, 3&4. AD) or abnormal collagen (type 2. AR).

  1. acquired mutation, not present at birth (2-6yo). normal lifespan with increased # during infancy. most common. otosclerosis (deaf), blue sclera, teeth abno.
  2. incompatible with life. multiple intrauterine #s. death 2nd Pulm hypoplasia.
  3. same as type 1 but present birth with growth retardation.
  4. same as type 1 but present birth with short stature. less otosclerosis, sclera normal, only mild osteoporosis and #.

osteoporosis types

A
  1. Juvenile
