The patient clinical journey and socioeconomic impact of osteogenesis imperfecta: a systematic scoping review. Orphanet J Rare Dis 2023; 18:34. [PMID: 36814274 PMCID: PMC9945474 DOI: 10.1186/s13023-023-02627-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2022] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/24/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare heritable connective tissue disorder primarily characterised by skeletal deformity and fragility, and an array of secondary features. The purpose of this review was to capture and quantify the published evidence relating specifically to the clinical, humanistic, and economic impact of OI on individuals, their families, and wider society. METHODS A systematic scoping review of 11 databases (MEDLINE, MEDLINE in-progress, EMBASE, CENTRAL, PsycINFO, NHS EED, CEA Registry, PEDE, ScHARRHUd, Orphanet and Google Scholar), supplemented by hand searches of grey literature, was conducted to identify OI literature published 1st January 1995-18th December 2021. Searches were restricted to English language but without geographical limitations. The quality of included records was assessed using the AGREE II checklist and an adapted version of the JBI cross-sectional study checklist. RESULTS Of the identified 7,850 records, 271 records of 245 unique studies met the inclusion criteria; overall, 168 included records examined clinical aspects of OI, 67 provided humanistic data, 6 reported on the economic impact of OI, and 30 provided data on mixed outcomes. Bone conditions, anthropometric measurements, oral conditions, diagnostic techniques, use of pharmacotherapy, and physical functioning of adults and children with OI were well described. However, few records included current care practice, diagnosis and monitoring, interactions with the healthcare system, or transition of care across life stages. Limited data on wider health concerns beyond bone health, how these concerns may impact health-related quality of life, in particular that of adult men and other family members, were identified. Few records described fatigue in children or adults. Markedly few records provided data on the socioeconomic impact of OI on patients and their caregivers, and associated costs to healthcare systems, and wider society. Most included records had qualitative limitations. CONCLUSION Despite the rarity of OI, the volume of recently published literature highlights the breadth of interest in the OI field from the research community. However, significant data gaps describing the experience of OI for individuals, their families, and wider society warrant further research to capture and quantify the full impact of OI.

Ocular characteristics and complications in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta: a systematic review. Acta Ophthalmol 2022; 100:e16-e28. [PMID: 34009739 PMCID: PMC9290710 DOI: 10.1111/aos.14882] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2020] [Revised: 03/09/2021] [Accepted: 04/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare inherited heterogeneous connective tissue disorder characterized by bone fragility, low bone mineral density, skeletal deformity and blue sclera. The dominantly inherited forms of OI are predominantly caused by mutations in either the COL1A1 or COL1A2 gene. Collagen type I is one of the major structural proteins of the eyes and therefore is the eye theoretically prone to alterations in OI. The aim of this systematic review was to provide an overview of the known ocular problems reported in OI. METHODS A literature search (in PubMed, Embase and Scopus), which included articles from inception to August 2020, was performed in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. RESULTS The results of this current review show that almost every component of the eye could be affected in OI. Decreased thickness of the cornea and sclera is an important factor causing eye problems in patients with OI such as blue sclera. Findings that stand out are ruptures, lacerations and other eye problems that occur after minor trauma, as well as complications from standard surgical procedures. DISCUSSION Alterations in collagen type I affect multiple structural components of the eye. It is recommended that OI patients wear protective glasses against accidental eye trauma. Furthermore, when surgery is required, it should be approached with caution. The prevalence of eye problems in different types of OI is still unknown. Additional research is required to obtain a better understanding of the ocular defects that may occur in OI patients and the underlying pathology.

Oral health-related quality of life in children with osteogenesis imperfecta. Eur Arch Paediatr Dent 2021; 23:261-270. [PMID: 34799841 PMCID: PMC8994709 DOI: 10.1007/s40368-021-00664-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2021] [Accepted: 08/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
Purpose Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) results from mutations in the genes involved in the modification or biosynthesis of collagen. This study aimed to assess the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in children with OI. Methodology Participants were recruited from a highly specialised OI centre for children. The Child Oral-Health Impact Profile—Short Form (COHIP-SF) was used, adding demographic and qualitative questions. Children aged 8–16 years participated between January and October 2019. Statistical analysis was carried out. A higher COHIP-SF score indicates better OHRQoL (maximum score, 76). Results One hundred and six (106) children participated (44 female, mean age 11.93 years). COHIP-SF median score was 59. Children reporting mild OI (n = 55) had higher median scores (62) compared to severe OI (n = 7) with median scores of 55 (P = 0.087). When comparing mixed (< 12 years, n = 46) and permanent dentition (≥ 12, n = 60), no significant difference in OHRQoL was seen (P = 0.977). There was no significant difference between severities for each COHIP-SF domain. Limited data on the presence of dentinogenesis imperfecta did not impact overall score (P = 0.109), but was significant in the oral-health domain (P = 0.033). Qualitative Common themes were the need for braces, discolouration, pain and function. Conclusion This study confirmed that children with OI have dental concerns in areas including oral health, functional well-being and socio-emotional well-being. This was related to severity of OI.

Abstract
For patients diagnosed with a rare musculoskeletal or neuromuscular disease, pain may transition from acute to chronic; the latter yielding additional challenges for both patients and care providers. We assessed the present understanding of pain across a set of ten rare, noninfectious, noncancerous disorders; Osteogenesis Imperfecta, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Achondroplasia, Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva, Fibrous Dysplasia/McCune-Albright Syndrome, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Infantile- and Late-Onset Pompe disease, Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Through the integration of natural history, cross-sectional, retrospective, clinical trials, & case studies we described pathologic and genetic factors, pain sources, phenotypes, and lastly, existing therapeutic approaches. We highlight that while rare diseases possess distinct core pathologic features, there are a number of shared pain phenotypes and mechanisms that may be prospectively examined and therapeutically targeted in a parallel manner. Finally, we describe clinical and research approaches that may facilitate more accurate diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of pain as well as elucidation of the evolving nature of pain phenotypes in rare musculoskeletal or neuromuscular illnesses.

Front Genet 2019; 10:722. [PMID: 31447884 PMCID: PMC6696896 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2019.00722] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2018] [Accepted: 07/10/2019] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a hereditary bone disorder caused by defects of type I collagen. Although up to 90% of patients harbor pathogenic variants in the COL1A1/2 gene, which codes for collagen α1/2 chains, the spectrum of OI genotypes may differ between populations, and there is academic controversy around OI genotype-phenotype correlations. In the current study, 94 Ukrainian OI families were interviewed. Clinical and genealogical information was collected from patients in spoken form, and their phenotypes were described. To identify the spectrum of collagen I pathogenic variants, COL1A1/2 mutational analysis with Sanger sequencing was performed on the youngest affected individual of every family. Of the 143 patients investigated, 67 (46.85%) had type I OI, 24 (16.78%) had type III, 49 (34.27%) had type IV, and III (2.10%) had type V. The mean number of fractures suffered per patient per year was 1.32 ± 2.88 (type I 0.50 ± 0.43; type III 3.51 ± 6.18; type IV 1.44 ± 1.77; and type 5 0.77 ± 0.23). 87.23% of patients had skeletal deformations of different severity. Blue sclera, dentinogenesis imperfecta, and hearing loss were present in 87%, 55%, and 22% of patients, respectively. COL1A1/2 pathogenic variants were harbored by 60 patients (63.83%). 27 pathogenic variants are described herein for the first time. The majority of the pathogenic variants were located in the COL1A1 gene (76.19%). Half (49.21%) of the pathogenic variants were represented by structural variants. OI phenotype severity was highly correlated with type of collagen I defect. The current article presents an analysis of the clinical manifestations and COL1A1/2 mutational spectrum of 94 Ukrainian OI families with 27 novel COL1A1/2 pathogenic variants. It is hoped that this data and its analysis will contribute toward the increased understanding of the phenotype development and genetics of the disorder.

Sclerostin antibody reduces long bone fractures in the oim/oim model of osteogenesis imperfecta. Bone 2019; 124:137-147. [PMID: 31051315 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2019.04.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2018] [Revised: 03/31/2019] [Accepted: 04/22/2019] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta type III (OI) is a serious genetic condition with poor bone quality and a high fracture rate in children. In a previous study, it was shown that a monoclonal antibody neutralizing sclerostin (Scl-Ab) increases strength and vertebral bone mass while reducing the number of axial fractures in oim/oim, a mouse model of OI type III. Here, we analyze the impact of Scl-Ab on long bones in OI mice. After 9 weeks of treatment, Scl-Ab significantly reduced long bone fractures (3.6 ± 0.3 versus 2.1 ± 0.8 per mouse, p < 0.001). In addition, the cortical thickness of the tibial midshaft was increased (+42%, p < 0.001), as well as BMD (+28%, p < 0.001), ultimate load (+86%, p < 0.05), plastic energy (+184%; p < 0.05) and stiffness (+172%; p < 0.01) in OI Scl-Ab mice compared to OI vehicle controls. Similar effects of Scl-Ab were observed in Wild type (Wt) mice. The plastic energy, which reflects the fragility of the tissue, was lower in the OI than in the Wt and significantly improved with the Scl-Ab treatment. At the tissue level by nanoindentation, Scl-Ab slightly increased the elastic modulus in bones of both OI and Wt, while moderately increasing tissue hardness (+13% compared to the vehicle; p < 0.05) in Wt bones, but not in OI bones. Although it did not change the properties of the OI bone matrix material, Scl-Ab reduced the fracture rate of the long bones by improving its bone mass, density, geometry, and biomechanical strength. These results suggest that Scl-Ab can reduce long-bone fractures in patients with OI.
