Abstract :
BACKGROUND: Osteogenesisimperfecta is a congenital disease caused by defect in the gene that produces type I collagen fiber, an important building block of bone resulting in fracture of bones, reduced growth and bone deformity. CASE PRESENTATION: A 16 years old female patient having the history of multiple bone fracture since 5 years. Her elder sister and her other is normal. Routine clinical examination revealed that scoliosis of thoracic and lumbar verteae, diffused osteopenia and crowding of ribs on the left side noted. Digital X–ray of forearm shows fracture of distal end of radius and minimal displaced fracture of middle third of ulna noted. CONCLUSION: Osteogenesisimperfecta is an autosomal dominant disease. Knowledge of osteogenesisimperfecta is important to provide better ability to plan prenatal diagnostic methods and to plan genetic counseling and preventive methods in affected families.
