Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare hereditary disorder characterized by bone fragility and frequent fractures. While most cases are attributed to variations in collagen-coding genes COL1A1 and COL1A2, other genes such as IFITM5 have also been associated with the disease, accounting for up to 5 % of cases. Here, we report a case of a 3-month-old female with a femur fracture and limb deformity. X-rays revealed evidence of osteopenia and previous fractures in the arms, clavicle, ribs, and left limb, alongside prenatal bone deformities detected by ultrasound. Initial clinical evaluation suggested progressively deforming (Sillence's type III) osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Molecular testing led to the diagnosis of IFITM5-related OI, identifying the c.-14C>T (rs587776916) variant. Although this variant has been previously reported in patients with IFITM5-related OI, prenatal involvement had not been associated with this variant.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study explored the incidence of IRCs used in the procedures of the femur in children with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) and investigated the independent risk factors of IRCs. METHODS Three hundred eight-eight cases of surgical data about children with OI were included, who were treated with plate, elastic nail, Kirschner wire and telescopic rod. The choice of different procedures depended on the age of children, the status of femur and the availability of devices. Patient demographics and major IRCs were recorded to compare the outcomes of the four procedures. Then, Cox proportional hazard regression was used to analyse the independent risk factors of IRC, and subgroup analysis was applied to further verify the above results. RESULTS The total incidence of IRC in the four groups was 90.1% (191/212) for plate, 96.8% (30/31) for Kirschner wire, 87.7% (57/65) for elastic nail and 30.0% (24/80) for telescopic rod. The incidence of IRC in the telescopic rod was lower than that in plate, elastic nail and Kirschner wire (P < 0.001). Cox proportional hazard regression analysis confirmed that procedure was the independent risk factor of IRC (HR, 0.191; 95% CI, 0.126-0.288; P < 0.001), fracture (HR, 0.193; 95% CI, 0.109-0.344; P < 0.001) and deformity (HR, 0.086; 95% CI, 0.027-0.272; P < 0.001). In addition, age of surgery was the independent risk factor of fracture (HR, 0.916; 95% CI, 0.882-0.952; P < 0.001) and deformity (HR, 1.052; 95% CI, 1.008-1.098; P = 0.019). Subgroup analysis confirmed that age of surgery, gender, classification, preoperative state and angle did not affect the effect of telescopic rod on reducing the risk of IRCs. CONCLUSIONS In our cohort, lower incidence of IRCs was observed in telescopic rod group compared with plate, Kirschner wire and elastic nail. Procedure and age of surgery were independent risk factors of fracture. Likewise, procedure and age of surgery were independent risk factors of deformity, and procedure was independent risk factors of IRC.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) commonly involving defects in COL1A1 and COL1A2 is a rare hereditary disease of bone fragility affecting 6-7 per 100,000 population. On the other hand, hypopituitarism is a separate entity that manifests with reduced levels of pituitary hormones. The cooccurrence of these two is seldom reported previously in literature as a deviation from Occam's razor. Here, we reported a case of pathological fracture in a 31-year-old male who had blue sclera and secondary adrenal insufficiency, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, and growth hormone deficiency along with primary autoimmune hypothyroidism. Diagnosis of OI was suggested by heterozygous missense variant in exon 40 of the COL1A2 gene (chr7: g.94423092G > A; Depth: 99×) that resulted in the amino acid substitution of Serine for Glycine at codon 847. Replacement of glucocorticoid, levothyroxine, and testosterone was started along with antiresorptive therapy for better bone health outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a congenital disease comprising a heterogeneous group of inherited connective tissue disorders. The main treatment in children is bisphosphonate therapy. Previous animal studies have shown that bisphosphonates delay tooth eruption. The aim of this study is to determine whether patients with OI treated with pamidronate and/or zoledronic acid have a delayed eruption age compared to a control group of healthy children. METHODS An ambispective longitudinal cohort study evaluating the age of eruption of the first stage mixed dentition in a group of children with OI (n = 37) all treated with intravenous bisphosphonates compared with a group of healthy children (n = 89). Within the study group, the correlation (Pearson correlation test) between the type of medication administered (pamidronate and/or zoledronic acid) and the chronology of tooth eruption is established, as well as the relationship between the amount of cumulative dose received and tooth eruption. RESULTS The age of eruption of the study group was significantly delayed compared to the age of eruption of the control group for molars and lateral incisors (p < 0.05). Patients who received higher cumulative doses had a delayed eruption age compared to those with lower cumulative doses (p < 0.05). There is a high positive correlation between age of delayed tooth eruption and Zoledronic acid administration. CONCLUSION Patients with OI have a delayed eruption of the 1st stage mixed dentition compared to a control group of healthy children. This delayed eruption is directly related to the cumulative dose of bisphosphonates and the administration of zoledronic ac.

Abstract
Van der Hoeve's syndrome, also known as osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), is a genetic connective tissue disorder characterized by fragile, fracture-prone bone and hearing loss. The disease is caused by a gene mutation in one of the two type I collagen genes COL1A1 or COL1A2. In this study, we identified a novel frameshift mutation of the COL1A1 gene (c.1607delG) in a family with OI using whole-exome sequencing, bioinformatics analysis and Sanger sequencing. This mutation may lead to the deletion of a portion of exon 23 and the generation of a premature stop codon in the COL1A1 gene. To further investigate the impact of this mutation, we established two induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of OI patients carrying a novel mutation in the COL1A1 gene. Osteoblasts (OB) derived from OI-iPSCs exhibited reduced production of type I collagen and diminished ability to differentiate into osteoblasts. Using a CRISPR-based homology-directed repair strategy, we corrected the OI disease-causing COL1A1 novel mutations in iPSCs generated from an affected individual. Our results demonstrated that the diminished expression of type I collagen and osteogenic potential were enhanced in OB induced from corrected OI-iPSCs compared to those from OI-iPSCs. Overall, our results provide new insights into the genetic basis of Van der Hoeve's syndrome and highlight the potential of iPSC technology for disease modeling and therapeutic development.

Abstract
Hereditary connective tissue disorders include more than 200 conditions affecting different organs and tissues, compromising the biological role of the extracellular matrix through interference in the synthesis, development, or secretion of collagen and/or its associated proteins. The clinical phenotype includes multiple signs and symptoms, usually nonspecific but of interest to rheumatologists because of musculoskeletal involvement. The patient´s journey to diagnosis is long, and physicians should include these disorders in their differential diagnoses of diseases with systemic involvement. In this review, insights for the diagnosis and treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta, hypermobility spectrum disorder/Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Marfan, Loeys-Dietz, and Stickler syndromes are presented.

Abstract
Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a common, benign bone tumor. However, there are no case reports of OO associated with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), or pathological fractures in OO. A 3-year-old girl with OI sustained a complete right tibial diaphyseal fracture. Bony fusion was completed after 4 months of conservative therapy; nevertheless, 18 months later spontaneous pain appeared at the fracture site, without any cause. Plain radiographs showed a newly apparent, rounded area of translucency 1 cm in diameter, just overlapping the previous fracture. Images obtained using three-dimensional time-resolved contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography showed strong central enhancement in the early phase, with an apparent nidus, suggesting the diagnosis of OO. Nineteen months after the first fracture, while skipping, the patient refractured her tibial diaphysis at the site of the previous fracture. This is a very rare case of OO, apparently co-existing with OI and leading to a bony fracture. In our case, the combination of bone fragility in OI and a recent fracture at the site of the OO may have caused the re-fracture.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare heritable connective tissue disorder of skeletal fragility with an incidence of roughly 1:15,000. Approximately 85% of the pathogenic variants responsible for OI are in the type I collagen genes, COL1A1 and COL1A2, with the remaining pathogenic OI variants spanning at least 20 additional genetic loci that often involve type I collagen post-translational modification, folding, and intracellular transport as well as matrix incorporation and mineralization. In addition to being the most abundant collagen in the body, type I collagen is an important structural and extracellular matrix signaling molecule in multiple organ systems and tissues. Thus, OI disease-causing variants result not only in skeletal fragility, decreased bone mineral density (BMD), kyphoscoliosis, and short stature, but can also result in hearing loss, dentinogenesis imperfecta, blue gray sclera, cardiopulmonary abnormalities, and muscle weakness. The extensive genetic and clinical heterogeneity in OI has necessitated the generation of multiple mouse models, the growing awareness of non-skeletal organ and tissue involvement, and OI being more broadly recognized as a type I collagenopathy.This has driven the investigation of mutation-specific skeletal and extra-skeletal manifestations and broadened the search of potential mechanistic therapeutic strategies. The purpose of this review is to outline several of the extra-skeletal manifestations that have recently been characterized through the use of genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous mouse models of osteogenesis imperfecta, demonstrating the significant potential impact of OI disease-causing variants as a collagenopathy (affecting multiple organ systems and tissues), and its implications to overall health.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) increases fracture risk due to changes in bone quantity and quality caused by mutations in collagen and its processing proteins. Current therapeutics improve bone quantity, but do not treat the underlying quality deficiencies. Male and female G610C+/- mice, a murine model of OI, were treated with a combination of raloxifene and in vivo axial tibial compressive loading starting at 10 weeks of age and continuing for 6 weeks to improve bone quantity and quality. Bone geometry and mechanical properties were measured to determine whole bone and tissue-level material properties. A colocalized Raman/nanoindentation system was used to measure chemical composition and nanomechanical properties in newly formed bone compared to old bone to determine if bone formed during the treatment regimen differed in quality compared to bone formed prior to treatment. Lastly, lacunar geometry and osteocyte apoptosis were assessed. OI mice were able to build bone in response to the loading, but this response was less robust than in control mice. Raloxifene improved some bone material properties in female but not male OI mice. Raloxifene did not alter nanomechanical properties, but loading did. Lacunar geometry was largely unchanged with raloxifene and loading. However, osteocyte apoptosis was increased with loading in raloxifene treated female mice. Overall, combination treatment with raloxifene and loading resulted in positive but subtle changes to bone quality.

Abstract
Background Bruck syndrome (BS) is an extremely rare autosomal-recessive connective tissue disorder mainly characterized by bone fragility, congenital joint contracture, and spinal deformity. It is also considered as a rare form of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) due to features of osteopenia and fragility fractures. Its two forms, BS1 and BS2, are caused by pathogenic variations in FKBP10 and PLOD2, respectively. Objective We aimed to improve the clinical understanding of BS by presenting a case from China and to identify the genetic variants that led to this case. Methods OI was suspected in a Chinese boy with a history of recurrent long bone fractures, lumbar kyphosis, and dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI). Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed to identify pathogenic variations. Sanger sequencing was used to confirm the results of the WES. In silico analysis was used to predict the pathogenicity of genetic variants. Results WES and Sanger sequencing revealed a compound heterozygous variation in the FKBP10 gene (NM_021939, c.23dupG in exon 1, and c.825dupC in exon 5). Both variants resulted in a frameshift and premature stop codon. Of these two variants, c.23dupG has not been previously reported. The patient's parents were heterozygous carriers of one variant. In addition, zoledronic acid treatment improved the vertebral deformity and bone mineral density (BMD) significantly in this patient. Conclusions A novel compound heterozygous variation of FKBP10, c.23dupG/c.825dupC, was identified in a patient with moderately severe OI. Based on these findings, the patient was diagnosed with BS1 without congenital joint contractures or OI type XI. This study expands the spectrum of FKBP10 genetic variants that cause BS and OI.

Abstract
The epidemiological data on osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) in Asia is limited. This study, representing the first comprehensive epidemiological investigation on OI in Taiwan, reveals high medical resource utilization and underscores the importance of early diagnosis to enhance care quality. INTRODUCTION This study examines osteogenesis imperfecta, a hereditary connective tissue disorder causing pediatric fractures and limb deformities, using a nationwide database from Taiwan to analyze clinical features and medical burden. METHODS The study identified validated OI patients from the Catastrophic Illness Registry in the National Health Insurance Research Database from 2008 to 2019. Demographic data and medical resource utilization were analyzed. A multivariate Cox model assessed the influence of sex, validation age, and comorbidities. RESULTS 319 OI patients (M/F = 153/166) were identified, with 58% validated before age 20. Prevalence and incidence were 0.8-1.3/100,000 and 0.02-0.09/100,000, respectively, with higher rates in the pediatric demographic. In the study period, 69.6% of the patients had admission history, primarily to pediatric and orthopedic wards. The median admission number was 3, with a median length of stay of 12 days and a median inpatient cost of approximately 3,163 USD during the period. Lower limb fractures were the main reason for hospitalization. 57% of OI patients received bisphosphonate treatment. The leading causes of mortality were OI-related deaths, neurovascular disease, and cardiovascular disease. The median age of validation in the non-survival group was significantly higher compared to the survival group (33 vs. 14 years), and patients validated during childhood required more inpatient fracture surgeries than those validated during adulthood. CONCLUSION This study provides comprehensive real-world evidence on the clinical characteristics and high medical resource utilization of OI patients in a low prevalence region like Taiwan. Early diagnosis is crucial for improving care quality and enhancing health outcomes.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare phenotypically and genetically heterogeneous group of inherited skeletal dysplasias. The hallmark features of OI include bone fragility and susceptibility to fractures, bone deformity, and diminished growth, along with a plethora of associated secondary features (both skeletal and extraskeletal). The diagnosis of OI is currently made on clinical grounds and may be confirmed by genetic testing. However, imaging remains pivotal in the evaluation of this disease. The aim of this article is to review the current role played by the various radiologic techniques in the diagnosis and monitoring of OI in the postnatal setting as well as to discuss recent advances and future perspectives in OI imaging. Conventional Radiography and Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) are currently the two most used imaging modalities in OI. The cardinal radiographic features of OI include generalized osteopenia/osteoporosis, bone deformities, and fractures. DXA is currently the most available technique to assess Bone Mineral Density (BMD), specifically areal BMD (aBMD). However, DXA has important limitations and cannot fully characterize bone fragility in OI based on aBMD. Novel DXA-derived parameters, such as Trabecular Bone Score (TBS), may provide further insight into skeletal changes induced by OI, but evidence is still limited. Techniques like Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can be useful as problem-solvers or in specific settings, including the evaluation of cranio-cervical abnormalities. Recent evidence supports the use of High-Resolution peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (HR-pQCT) as a promising tool to improve the characterization of bone fragility in OI. However, HR-pQCT remains a primarily research technique at present. Quantitative Computed Tomography (QCT) is an alternative to DXA for the determination of BMD at central sites, with distinct advantages but considerably higher radiation exposure. Quantitative Ultrasound (QUS) is a portable, inexpensive, and radiation-free modality that may complement DXA evaluation, providing information on bone quality. However, evidence of usefulness of QUS in OI is poor. Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry (REMS) is an emerging non-ionizing imaging method that holds promise for the diagnosis of low BMD and for the prediction of fracture risk, but so far only one published study has investigated its role in OI. To conclude, several different radiologic techniques have proven to be effective in the diagnosis and monitoring of OI, each with their own specificities and peculiarities. Clinicians should be aware of the strategic role of the various modalities in the different phases of the patient care process. In this scenario, the development of international guidelines including recommendations on the role of imaging in the diagnosis and monitoring of OI, accompanied by continuous active research in the field, could significantly improve the standardization of patient care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heritable connective tissue disorder characterized by bone deformities, fractures and reduced bone mass. OI can be inherited as a dominant, recessive, or X-linked disorder. The mutational spectrum has shown that autosomal dominant mutations in the type I collagen-encoding genes are responsible for OI in 85% of the cases. Apart from collagen genes, mutations in more than 20 other genes, such as CRTAP, CREB3L1, MBTPS2, P4HB, SEC24D, SPARC, FKBP10, LEPRE1, PLOD2, PPIB, SERPINF1, SERPINH1, SP7, WNT1, BMP1, TMEM38B, and IFITM5 have been reported in OI. METHODS AND RESULTS To understand the genetic cause of OI in four cases, we conducted whole exome sequencing, followed by Sanger sequencing. In case #1, we identified a novel c.506delG homozygous mutation in the WNT1 gene, resulting in a frameshift and early truncation of the protein at the 197th amino acid. In cases #2, 3 and 4, we identified a heterozygous c.838G > A mutation in the COL1A2 gene, resulting in a p.Gly280Ser substitution. The clinvar frequency of this mutation is 0.000008 (GnomAD-exomes). This mutation has been identified by other studies as well and appears to be a mutational hot spot. These pathogenic mutations were found to be absent in 96 control samples analyzed for these sites. The presence of these mutations in the cases, their absence in controls, their absence or very low frequency in general population, and their evaluation using various in silico prediction tools suggested their pathogenic nature. CONCLUSIONS Mutations in the WNT1 and COL1A2 genes explain these cases of osteogenesis imperfecta.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare, heritable connective tissue disorder associated with a variety of symptoms, that affect individuals' quality of life (QoL) and can be associated with increased healthcare resource use. While some aspects of OI are well studied, others remain poorly understood. Therefore, the IMPACT survey aimed to elucidate the humanistic, clinical and economic burden of OI on individuals with OI, their families, caregivers and wider society. METHODS We developed an international mixed methods online survey in eight languages (fielded July-September 2021), aimed at adults (aged ≥ 18 years) or adolescents (aged ≥ 12-17 years) with OI, caregivers (with or without OI) of individuals with OI and other close relatives. All respondents provided data on themselves; caregivers additionally provided data on individuals in their care by proxy. Data were cleaned, coded, and analysed using the pandas Python software package and Excel. RESULTS IMPACT collected 2208 eligible questionnaires (covering 2988 individuals of whom 2312 had OI) including 1290 non-caregiver adults with OI, 92 adolescents with OI, 150 caregiver adults with OI, 560 caregivers for individuals with OI, 116 close relatives and 780 proxy care-recipients with OI. Most individuals with OI (direct or proxy) described their OI as moderate (41-52% across populations) and reported OI type 1 (33-38%). Pain (72-82%) was the most reported clinical condition experienced in the past 12 months and was also most frequently rated as severely or moderately impactful. Further, among adults, 67% reported fatigue, 47% scoliosis, and 46% sleep disturbance; in adolescents, fatigue affected 65%, scoliosis and other bone problems 60%, and mental health problems 46%; in children, fractures were common in 67%, fatigue in 47%, and dental problems in 46%. CONCLUSION IMPACT has generated an extensive dataset on the experience of individuals with OI, their caregivers and relatives. We found that, irrespective of age, individuals with OI experience numerous and evolving symptoms that affect their QoL; however, pain and fatigue are consistently present. Upcoming analyses will provide further insights into the economic impact, healthcare journey and caregiver wellbeing, aiming to contribute to improved treatment and care for the OI community.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disorder characterized by increased bone fragility largely caused by defects in structure, synthesis, or post-translational processing of type I collagen. Drugs currently used to improve skeletal health in OI were initially developed to treat osteoporosis and clinical trials are ongoing to study their effectiveness in OI adults. Additionally, novel bone-protective agents are in preclinical studies and various phases of OI clinical trials. This review summarizes current knowledge on available pharmacologic agents and current drug trials involving OI participants. A PubMed online database search of all study types published in the English language using the terms "osteogenesis imperfecta," "OI," and "brittle bone disease" was performed in August 2022. Articles screened were restricted to adults. A ClinicalTrials.gov database search of all studies involving "osteogenesis imperfecta" was performed in August 2023. Although clinical trial data are limited, bisphosphonates and teriparatide may be useful in improving bone mineral density. As of yet, no clinical trials are available that adequately evaluate the usefulness of current therapies in reducing fracture risk. Several therapeutics, including teriparatide, setrusumab, anti-TGF-β antibodies, and allogeneic stem cells, are being studied in clinical trials. Preclinical studies involving Dickkopf-1 antagonists present promising data in non-OI bone disease, and could be useful in OI. Research is ongoing to improve therapeutic options for adults with OI and clinical trials involving gene-editing may be possible in the coming decade.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Very little is known about the characteristics of echocardiographic abnormalities and joint hypermobility in Chinese patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). The aim of our study was to investigate the characteristics, prevalence and correlation of echocardiographic abnormalities and joint hypermobility in Chinese patients with OI. METHODS A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted in pediatric and adult OI patients who were matched in age and sex with healthy controls. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed in all patients and controls, and parameters were indexed for body surface area (BSA). The Beighton score was used to evaluate the degree of joint hypermobility. RESULTS A total of 48 patients with OI (25 juveniles and 23 adults) and 129 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (79 juveniles and 50 adults) were studied. Four genes (COL1A1, COL1A2, IFITM5, and WNT1) and 39 different mutation loci were identified in our study. Mild valvular regurgitation was the most common cardiac abnormality: mild mitral and tricuspid regurgitation was found in 12% and 36% of pediatric OI patients, respectively; among 23 OI adults, 13% and 17% of patients had mild mitral and tricuspid regurgitation, respectively, and 4% had mild aortic regurgitation. In multiple regression analysis, OI was the key predictor of left atrium diameter (LAD) (β=-3.670, P < 0.001) and fractional shortening (FS) (β = 3.005, P = 0.037) in juveniles, whereas for adults, OI was a significant predictor of LAD (β=-3.621, P < 0.001) and left ventricular mass (LVM) (β = 58.928, P < 0.001). The percentages of generalized joint hypermobility in OI juveniles and adults were 56% and 20%, respectively. Additionally, only in the OI juvenile group did the results of the Mann‒Whitney U test show that the degree of joint hypermobility was significantly different between the echocardiographic normal and abnormal groups (P = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS Mild valvular regurgitation was the most common cardiac abnormality in both OI juveniles and adults. Compared with OI adults, OI juveniles had more prevalent and wider joint hypermobility. Echocardiographic abnormalities may imply that the impairment of type I collagen is more serious in OI. Baseline echocardiography should be performed in OI patients as early as possible.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic disorder caused by abnormal collagen type I production. While OI is primarily characterized by bone fragility and deformities, patients also have extraskeletal manifestations, including an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the literature on cardiovascular diseases in OI patients in order to raise awareness of this understudied clinical aspect of OI and support clinical guidelines. In accordance with the PRISMA guidelines, a systematic literature search in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Scopus was conducted that included articles from the inception of these databases to April 2023. Valvular disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and hypertension appear to be more prevalent in OI than in control individuals. Moreover, a larger aortic root was observed in OI compared to controls. Various cardiovascular diseases appear to be more prevalent in OI than in controls. These cardiovascular abnormalities are observed in all types of OI and at all ages, including young children. As there are insufficient longitudinal studies, it is unknown whether these abnormalities are progressive in nature in OI patients. Based on these findings, we would recommend referring individuals with OI to a cardiologist with a low-threshold.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is commonly associated with fragility fractures. It is due to abnormality in the quantity and quality of collagen type 1 caused by mutations in COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes. Patients with OI would also have blue sclera, ligament hyperlaxity, dentinogenesis imperfecta, hearing abnormality, and short stature. Surgical management is preferred to conservative treatment in long bone fractures. For malunited fractures, Sofield-Millar or multiple osteotomies at different sites of deformities are performed with additional intramedullary device to stabilize the bone. This is a case of femur fracture with multilevel CORAs in an adolescent patient with post-trauma OI in which z-osteotomies were performed and stabilized with titanium elastic nails resulting in good outcomes clinically and radiologically.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disorder which increases fragility fracture risk. Elderly individuals, especially postmenopausal women, are particularly susceptible to osteoporosis. Although rare, osteoporosis in children and young adults is becoming increasingly evident, highlighting the need for timely diagnosis, management and follow-up. Early-onset osteoporosis is defined as the presence of a low BMD (Z-score of ≤ -2.0 in individuals aged < 20 years; T-score of ≤ -2.5 in those aged between 20 to 50 years) accompanied by a clinically significant fracture history, or the presence of low-energy vertebral compression fractures even in the absence of osteoporosis. Affected children and young adults should undergo a thorough diagnostic workup, including collection of clinical history, radiography, biochemical investigation and possibly bone biopsy. Once secondary factors and comorbidities are excluded, genetic testing should be considered to determine the possibility of an underlying monogenic cause. Defects in genes related to type I collagen biosynthesis are the commonest contributors of primary osteoporosis, followed by loss-of-function variants in genes encoding key regulatory proteins of canonical WNT signalling (specifically LRP5 and WNT1), the actin-binding plastin-3 protein (encoded by PLS3) resulting in X-linked osteoporosis, and the more recent sphingomyelin synthase 2 (encoded by SGMS2) which is critical for signal transduction affecting sphingomyelin metabolism. Despite these discoveries, genetic causes and underlying mechanisms in early-onset osteoporosis remain largely unknown, and if no causal gene is identified, early-onset osteoporosis is deemed idiopathic. This calls for further research to unravel the molecular mechanisms driving early-onset osteoporosis that consequently will aid in patient management and individualised targeted therapy.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disorder characterized by bone fragility and fractures, short stature, dental abnormalities, hearing loss, scoliosis, and chronic pain. Despite a growing literature on the functional outcomes of OI, limited research has explicitly examined the psychosocial outcomes of pain within OI. Adults with OI (N = 15) were interviewed to understand pain-related experiences through a thematic analysis of semi-structured interview data. Research team members, genetic research experts, and OI clinicians developed an interview guide focused on topics related to pain and mental health challenges. Participants' transcripts were coded by two independent coders; codes were then merged across coders and quotation outputs were subsequently abstracted (paraphrased then thematically classified) to identify common themes. Themes related to pain management variability regarding pain type, pain risk management and accessibility, pain outcomes (e.g., behavior, cognitive, affective), and pain exacerbating factors (e.g., individual, contextual) were identified. Participants reported chronic and acute pain, and despite the inaccessibility and stigmatization of pain medications (e.g., opioids), pharmacological treatments were the most common pain management approach. Participants reported negative pain outcomes, such as limited daily functioning and activity participation, fear, anger, anxiety, depression, and difficulty concentrating. Lastly, participants suggested that lack of physician and community knowledge on chronic pain in OI indirectly exacerbates both subjective pain intensity and outcomes. Although limited by a small, nondiverse sample, the current study provides valuable exploration of the unique pain experiences of adults with OI that may have implications for proactive management, treatment development, and clinician training.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the genotypic and phenotypic relationship in a large cohort of OI patients and to compare the differences between eastern and western OI cohorts. METHODS A total of 671 OI patients were included. Pathogenic mutations were identified, phenotypic information was collected, and relationships between genotypes and phenotypes were analyzed. Literature about western OI cohorts was searched, and differences were compared between eastern and western OI cohorts. RESULTS A total of 560 OI patients were identified as carrying OI pathogenic mutations, and the positive detection rate of disease-causing gene mutations was 83.5%. Mutations in 15 OI candidate genes were identified, with COL1A1 (n = 308, 55%) and COL1A2 (n = 164, 29%) being the most common mutations, and SERPINF1 and WNT1 being the most common biallelic variants. Of the 414 probands, 48.8, 16.9, 29.2 and 5.1% had OI types I, III, IV and V, respectively. Peripheral fracture was the most common phenotype (96.6%), and femurs (34.7%) were most commonly affected. Vertebral compression fracture was observed in 43.5% of OI patients. Biallelic or COL1A2 mutation led to more bone deformities and poorer mobility than COL1A1 mutation (all P < 0.05). Glycine substitution of COL1A1 or COL1A2 or biallelic variants led to more severe phenotypes than haploinsufficiency of collagen type I α chains, which induced the mildest phenotypes. Although the gene mutation spectrum varied among countries, the fracture incidence was similar between eastern and western OI cohorts. CONCLUSION The findings are valuable for accurate diagnosis and treatment of OI, mechanism exploration and prognosis judgment. Genetic profiles of OI may vary among races, but the mechanism needs to be explored.

Abstract
Introduction We present a case of a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) and keratoglobus (KG) who had a near-total rupture of Descemet's membrane followed by spontaneous corneal clearing. This case is unique in that it demonstrates the potentially excellent outcome of conservative treatment for Descemet's rupture in patients with KG and illustrates the impressive migratory potential of healthy endothelial cells. Case Presentation An 11-year-old girl with OI and KG who had rupture and near-total detachment of Descemet's membrane presented for evaluation. This was managed conservatively and resulted in the eventual spontaneous clearing of the cornea. A similar process happened in the fellow eye some years later. Given the result of conservative management originally, the patient was once again treated conservatively, with significant improvement in corneal edema and visual acuity. Conclusion Given the size of the ruptures, this case highlights the dynamic nature of the corneal endothelium and provides an extreme example of the migratory potential of corneal endothelial cells.

Abstract
PURPOSE Lipocalin 2 (LCN2) is a newly recognized bone-derived factor that is important in regulation of energy metabolism. We investigated the correlation of serum LCN2 levels and glycolipid metabolism, and body composition in a large cohort of patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). METHODS A total of 204 children with OI and 66 age- and gender-matched healthy children were included. Circulating levels of LCN2 and osteocalcin were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Serum levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and low- and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C, HDL-C) were measured by automated chemical analyzers. The body composition was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Grip strength and timed-up-and-go (TUG) were tested to evaluate the muscle function. RESULTS Serum LCN2 levels were 37.65 ± 23.48 ng/ml in OI children, which was significantly lower than those in healthy control (69.18 ± 35.43 ng/ml, P < 0.001). Body mass index (BMI) and serum FBG level were significantly higher and HDL-C levels were lower in OI children than healthy control (all P < 0.01). Grip strength was significantly lower (P < 0.05), and the TUG was significantly longer in OI patients than healthy control (P < 0.05). Serum LCN2 level was negatively correlated to BMI, FBG, HOMA-IR, HOMA-β, total body, and trunk fat mass percentage, and positively correlated to total body and appendicular lean mass percentage (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, obesity, and muscle dysfunction are common in OI patients. As a novel osteogenic cytokine, LCN2 deficiency may be relevant to disorders of glucose and lipid metabolism, and dysfunction of muscle in OI patients.

Abstract
Lamellar bone formed in individuals with moderate and severe osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is often composed of lamellae that are structurally abnormal. Measuring the thickness of these lamellae can be helpful in assessing the effect of specific collagen and collagen-related mutations on OI bone synthesis. Manual measurement of lamellar thicknesses in large quantities is very time consuming. The method for automated measurement described in this article utilizes an image processing script to identify the average thickness of multiple lamellae automatically from histologic images of bone. This allows for faster measurements that are less prone to human error and can account for variability in the thickness of a lamella along its length.•OI and control bone samples are prepared per the glycol methacrylate resin (JB-4 plastic) technique and viewed using polarized light microscopy.•Ideal bone regions for measurement are identified using specific qualitative criteria designed to ensure uniform and accurate thickness measurements.•The method was validated with dataset containing 211 lamellae from control bone and 212 lamellae from OI bone.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review aims to provide a review of the multidisciplinary management of infants with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) during the first year of life, focusing on those with severe disease. The authors draw on published literature and direct experience of working in a large paediatric centre specialising in the management of rare bone disease. RECENT FINDINGS Whilst understanding of the pathophysiology of OI has grown over the past decade, the evidence base for management of infants remains limited. There has been a greater recognition of certain subjects of concern including pain management, cervical spine deformity, and neurocognitive development. Both international consensus guidelines on rehabilitation and disease-specific growth charts have been welcomed by clinical teams. The early involvement of multidisciplinary specialist care is critical in ensuring optimal care for the infant with severe OI. A long-term perspective which focuses on the axial, craniofacial, and peripheral skeleton as well as on development more generally provides a framework which can guide the management of infants with severe OI.

Abstract
Missense variants in the MBTPS2 gene, located on the X chromosome, have been associated with an X-linked recessive form of osteogenesis imperfecta (X-OI), an inherited bone dysplasia characterized by multiple and recurrent bone fractures, short stature, and various skeletal deformities in affected individuals. The role of site-2 protease, encoded by MBTPS2, and the molecular pathomechanism underlying the disease are to date elusive. This study is the first to report on the generation of two Mbtps2 mouse models, a knock-in mouse carrying one of the disease-causative MBTPS2 variants (N455S) and a Mbtps2 knock-out (ko) mouse. Because both loss-of-function variants lead to embryonic lethality in hemizygous male mutant mice, we performed a comprehensive skeletal analysis of heterozygous Mbtps2+/N455S and Mbtps2+/ko female mice. Both models displayed osteochondral abnormalities such as thinned subchondral bone, altered subchondral osteocyte interconnectivity as well as thickened articular cartilage with chondrocyte clustering, altogether resembling an early osteoarthritis (OA) phenotype. However, distant from the joints, no alterations in the bone mass and turnover could be detected in either of the mutant mice. Based on our findings we conclude that MBTPS2 haploinsufficiency results in early OA-like alterations in the articular cartilage and underlying subchondral bone, which likely precede the development of typical OI phenotype in bone. Our study provides first evidence for a potential role of site-2 protease for maintaining homeostasis of both bone and cartilage.

In a cross-sectional study assessing the experiences of individuals with osteogenesis imperfecta accessing care during the COVID-19 pandemic, participants reported high rates of delays in accessing medical care and high utilization of telehealth. Considering the needs of individuals with complex medical conditions is important when improving access to care. PURPOSE Individuals with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) often have complex care needs requiring that they see a variety of specialists. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 led to delays in medical care for many health conditions. The goal of this study was to describe the experiences of individuals with OI accessing medical care during this time. METHODS Responses to an electronic survey distributed via the OI Foundation mailing list were collected from August 2020 until February 2021. Participants were instructed to compare their experiences in the months since the start of the pandemic with their experiences prior to this date. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and were compared across demographic groups using logistic regression and chi-squared tests. RESULTS Surveys were completed by 110 participants. Most participants (72%) reported experiencing delays in accessing at least one care provider. The majority of participants reported less or similar amounts of bone pain (74.3%) and less or the same rate of fracture (88.6%) as before the start of the pandemic. CONCLUSION While most study participants experienced delays in care, they did not report an increase in symptoms associated with OI. They also frequently utilized telehealth as a tool to see their providers. Future research should focus on the impact of changes in telehealth legislation on patients' ability to access care. As methods for care delivery evolve, the needs of people with OI and other rare diseases should be considered and prioritized.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) type VI is an extremely rare form of OI caused by biallelic variants in the SERPINF1 gene, which codes for the pigment-epithelium derived factor (PEDF). We report on four patients (three adults and one adolescent) with a severe deforming form of OI. All patients presented no abnormalities at birth, frequent long bone and vertebrae fractures (mainly during childhood), marked short stature, severe bone deformities, chronic mild to moderate pain, and severe limitation of mobility, with three being completely wheelchair bound. Blue sclera and dentinogenesis imperfecta were absent, although some patients presented tooth, ophthalmological, and/or cardiac features. Radiographic findings included, among others, thin diaphysis and popcorn calcifications, both of which are non-specific to this type of OI. The novel homozygous variants c.816_819del (p.Met272Ilefs*8) and c.283+2T > G in SERPINF1 were identified in three and one patient, respectively. The three patients carrying the frameshift variant were born in nearby regions suggesting a founder effect. Describing the long-term outcomes of four patients with OI type VI, this cohort adds relevant data on the clinical features and prognosis of this type of OI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta affects the whole lives of family members. This study aims to investigate the lived experience of families with children diagnosed with osteogenesis imperfecta. DESIGN AND METHODS This study used a qualitative, phenomenological design. The study sample consisted of parents of the children who were followed up with the diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta in the pediatric endocrinology clinic in Turkey. In order to collect data, a semi-structured interview form was prepared, and data were collected by way of face-to-face interviews. The lived experience of families were analyzed using qualitative methods. The life experiences of the families were analyzed in depth using qualitative methods. RESULTS In the study, six themes were identified, including having a child diagnosed with osteogenesis imperfecta, family process, life patterns, emotional dimension, social life, and economic dimension. The results revealed that parents did not know about the disease upon learning of the child's diagnosis. Parents stated that they experienced anxiety, disappointment, sadness, denial, and despair when they first learned about their children's diagnosis. They also indicated that having a child with osteogenesis imperfecta affected the whole family in physiological, psychological, and social aspects. CONCLUSION Parents and children should be given information about the disease since the first diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta, and psychosocial support should be provided. Families that can not get sufficient psychosocial support experience difficulties in the medical and care management of the disease. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS Knowing and understanding the lived experiences of families living with osteogenesis imperfecta can guide the planning and implementation of quality nursing care processes.

Abstract
Pathogenic variants in SPARC cause a rare autosomal recessive form of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), classified as OI type XVII, which was first reported in 2015. Only six patient cases with this specific form of OI have been reported to date. The SPARC protein plays a crucial role in the calcification of collagen in bone, synthesis of the extracellular matrix, and the regulation of cell shape. In this case report, we describe the phenotype of two patients with SPARC-related OI, including a patient with two novel pathogenic variants in the SPARC gene. Targeted Next Generation Sequencing revealed new compound heterozygous variants (c.484G > A p.(Glu162Lys)) and c.496C > T p.(Arg166Cys)) in one patient and a homozygous nonsense pathogenic variant (c.145C > T p.(Gln49*)) in the other. In line with previously reported cases, the two OI patients presented delayed motor development, muscular weakness, scoliosis, and multiple fractures. Interestingly, our study reports for the first time the occurrence of dentinogenesis imperfecta. The study also reports the effectiveness of bisphosphonate treatment for OI type XVII. This article enhances the genetic, clinical, therapeutic, and radiological understanding of SPARC-related OI.

Abstract
Patients with skeletal dysplasias usually experience health related problems in different parts and systems of the body. Therefore, they face challenges in multiple domains of functioning and health. To address these different domains, interdisciplinary care should be the standard for these patients. The basic algorithm of interdisciplinary care can be similar for patients with different skeletal dysplasias, as many of the problems and needs are generic within different age groups. With increased age the domains in which patients with skeletal dysplasia face challenges will change and the focus and frequency of the interdisciplinary care should change accordingly. Thorough understanding of the specific characteristics of different skeletal dysplasias is required to create an individualized efficient interdisciplinary screening and care program. This paper presents the current structure and rationale of the interdisciplinary screening and care program of the skeletal dysplasia expert center of the University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands. It is presented here, tailored to osteogenesis imperfecta, but the structure of the program is generic for all skeletal dysplasias.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is an inherited congenital disorder, characterized primarily by decreased bone mass and increased bone fragility. Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) is a potent cytokine capable of stimulating bone formation, however, its rapid degradation and unanticipated in vivo effects restrict its application. The sustained release characteristic of silk fibroin (SF) microspheres may potentially address the aforementioned challenges, nevertheless they have not previously been tested in OI treatment. In the current investigation, recombinant BMP-2 (rBMP-2) loaded SF (rBMP-2/SF) microspheres-based release carriers were prepared by physical adsorption. The SF microparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and were investigated for their cytotoxicity behavior as well as the release profile of rBMP-2. The rBMP-2/SF microspheres were administered via femoral intramedullary injection to two genotypes of OI-modeled mice daily for two weeks. The femoral microstructure and histological performance of OI mice were evaluated 2 weeks later. The findings suggested that rBMP-2/SF spheres with a rough surface and excellent cytocompatibility demonstrated an initial rapid release within the first three days (22.15 ± 2.88% of the loaded factor), followed by a transition to a slower and more consistent release rate, that persisted until the 15th day in an in vitro setting. The factor released from rBMP-2/SF particles exhibited favorable osteoinductive activity. Infusion of rBMP-2/SF microspheres, as opposed to blank SF spheres or rBMP-2 monotherapy, resulted in a noteworthy enhancement of femoral microstructure and promoted bone formation in OI-modeled mice. This research may offer a new therapeutic approach and insight into the management of OI. However, further investigation is required to determine the systematic safety and efficacy of rBMP-2/SF microspheres therapy for OI.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta is considered a rare genetic condition which is characterized by bone fragility. In 85% of cases, it is caused by mutations in COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes which are essential to produce type I collagen. We report the case of a female neonate delivered to a 27-year-old women at San Bartolomé Teaching Hospital with a family history of clavicle fracture. A prenatal control with ultrasound was performed to the mother at 29 weeks. A fetus with altered morphology and multiple fractures was found. Therefore, a prenatal diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta was performed. The neonate was born with a respiratory distress syndrome and an acyanotic congenital heart disease. Therefore, she remained in NICU until her death. We highlight the importance of prenatal diagnosis, genetic counseling and a multidisciplinary evaluation in this type of pathologies and report a new probably pathogenic variant in the COL1A2 gene detected by exomic sequencing in amniotic fluid.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a group of connective tissue disorders leading to abnormal bone formation, mainly due to mutations in genes encoding collagen type I (Col I). Osteogenesis is regulated by a number of molecules, including microRNAs (miRNAs), indicating their potential as targets for OI therapy. The goal of this study was to identify and analyze the expression profiles of miRNAs involved in bone extracellular matrix (ECM) regulation in patients diagnosed with OI type I caused by mutations in COL1A1 or COL1A2. Primary skin fibroblast cultures were used for DNA purification and sequence analysis, followed by analysis of miRNA expression. Sequencing analysis revealed mutations of the COL1A1 or COL1A2 genes in all OI patients, including four previously unreported. Amongst the 40 miRNAs analyzed, 9 were identified exclusively in OI cells and 26 in both OI patients and the controls. In the latter case, the expression of six miRNAs (hsa-miR-10b-5p, hsa-miR-19a-3p, hsa-miR-19b-3p, has-miR-204-5p, has-miR-216a-5p, and hsa-miR-449a) increased, while four (hsa-miR-129-5p, hsa-miR-199b-5p, hsa-miR-664a-5p, and hsa-miR-30a-5p) decreased significantly in OI cells in comparison to their expression in the control cells. The identified mutations and miRNA expression profiles shed light on the intricate processes governing bone formation and ECM regulation, paving the way for further research and potential therapeutic advancements in OI and other genetic diseases related to bone abnormality management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is an inherited disorder characterized by bone fragility. Type I OI is the most common type of OI, and is autosomal dominantly-inherited. Type I OI develops due to pathogenic variants in the collagen 1 Alpha 1 (COL1A1) gene on chromosome 17. Collagen proteins are important components of the extracellular matrix of the trabecular meshwork, Schlemm's canal, and lamina cribrosa, which play a role in the development of glaucoma. PURPOSE To report a father and his daughter who were diagnosed with glaucoma and OI type I. MATERIALS AND METHODS Case report. RESULTS A 58-year-old man and his 31-year-old daughter were diagnosed with OI type 1 [NM_000088.4 (COL1A1): c.3008del (p.Pro1003fs)]. In addition, both subjects had glaucomatous optic neuropathy. CONCLUSIONS In this report, we presented a pathogenic variant in a father and his daughter with OI and coexisting glaucoma. The abnormalities in collagen may contribute to the risk of glaucoma development in patients with COL1A1-associated OI. Therefore, screening for glaucoma may be indicated when caring for patients with this diagnosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Skeletal dysplasia are heterogeneous conditions affecting the skeleton. Common nutrition issues include feeding difficulties, obesity, and metabolic complications. This systematic scoping review aimed to identify key nutrition issues, management strategies, and gaps in knowledge regarding nutrition in skeletal dysplasia. METHODS The databases Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid EMBASE, Ebsco CINAHL, Scopus, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Database of Systematic Reviews were searched. Reference lists and citing literature for included studies were searched. Eligible studies included participants with skeletal dysplasia and described: anthropometry, body composition, nutrition-related biochemistry, clinical issues, dietary intake, measured energy or nutrition requirements, or nutrition interventions. RESULTS The literature search identified 8509 references from which 138 studies were included (130 observational, 3 intervention, 2 systematic reviews, and 3 clinical guidelines). Across 17 diagnoses identified, most studies described osteogenesis imperfecta (n = 50) and achondroplasia or hypochondroplasia (n = 47). Nutrition-related clinical issues, biochemistry, obesity, and metabolic complications were most commonly reported, and few studies measured energy requirements (n = 5). CONCLUSION Nutrition-related comorbidities are documented in skeletal dysplasia; yet, evidence to guide management is scarce. Evidence describing nutrition in rarer skeletal dysplasia conditions is lacking. Advances in skeletal dysplasia nutrition knowledge is needed to optimize broader health outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Scoliosis is widely prevalent among osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) patients, and is progressive with age. However, factors affecting scoliosis in OI are not well known. METHODS We retrospectively retrieved longitudinal radiographic and clinical records of consecutive OI patients seeking treatments at our hospital from 2014 to 2022, graded their pre-operative spinal conditions into four outcome groups, estimated their progression rates, and descriptively and inferentially analyzed the genetic and non-genetic factors that may affect the outcomes and progression rates. RESULTS In all, 290 OI patients met the inclusion criteria, where 221 had genetic records. Of these 221, about 2/3 had mutations in COL1A1 or COL1A2, followed by mutations in WNT1 (9.0%), IFITM5 (9.0%) and other OI risk genes. With an average age of 12.0 years (interquartile range [IQR] 6.9-16.1), 70.7% of the cohort had scoliosis (Cobb angle > 10°), including 106 (36.5%) mild (10°-25°), 40 (13.8%) moderate (25°-50°), and 59 (20.3%) severe (> 50°) scoliosis patients. Patients with either COL1A1 and COL1A2 were strongly biased toward having mild or no scoliosis, whereas patients with mutations in IFITM5, WNT1 and other recessive genes were more evenly distributed among the four outcome grades. Lower-limb discrepancy, bone mineral density (BMD) and age of first drug used were all significantly correlated with severity outcomes. Using multivariate logistic regression, we estimated that each year older adds an odds ratio of 1.13 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.07-1.2) in progression into advanced stages of scoliosis. We estimated a cohort-wide progression rate of 2.7 degrees per year (95% CI 2.4-3.0). Early-onset patients experienced fast progressions during both infantile and adolescent stages. Twenty-five of the 59 (42.8%) patients with severe scoliosis underwent spinal surgeries, enjoying an average Cobb angle reduction of 33° (IQR 23-40) postoperatively. CONCLUSION The severity and progression of scoliosis in osteogenesis imperfecta were affected by genetic factors including genotypes and mutation types, and non-genetic factors including age and BMD. As compared with COL1A1, mutations in COL1A2 were less damaging while those on IFITM5 and other recessive genes conferred damaging effects. Progression rates were the fastest in the adolescent adult age-group.

Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to assess the treatment of patients with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) operated on with a telescopic Fassier-Duval (FD) rod in a querterenario hospital from 2010 to 2020. Methods We analyzed indication for surgical treatment, causes of reoperation, complications and the effectiveness of telescoping rod. Results The results were compared with the literature and with the same parameters from a previous study which a different telescopic rod developed by the same authors. This was a retrospective study based on the analysis of digital and radiographic clinical records. Fifteen patients with 21 FD rods were evaluated, most were used on the femur (18 rods or 85.7%), eight patients were female (53.3%), with a mean age of 10.47 (3.92 to 16.44) years, most of whom had type III Sillence (46.7%), with a mean follow-up of 5.22 (1.43 to 7.02) years. Seven rods (33.3%) had complications. The main indication was for fracture (57.1%). Regarding the ability to telescope, we observed that 15 rods (71.4%) followed the child's growth. Conclusion We had good results using FD rods, similar to the data found in the literature and the data obtained with our rod. Level of Evidence III,Retrospective comparative study .

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Proximal tibial epiphyseal injuries are rare, accounting for 0.5-3 % of all epiphyseal injuries, of which bilateral cases are extremely rare. Only five cases of bilateral proximal tibial epiphyseal injuries have so far been reported in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta. We herein present a case of repeated bilateral proximal tibial epiphyseal injuries with a diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta. We also performed a literature review of 46 cases of bilateral proximal tibial epiphyseal injuries reported since 1955, including 5 of osteogenesis imperfecta. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 10-year-old boy repeatedly sustained bilateral simultaneous proximal tibial epiphyseal injuries due to minor trauma. Blue sclera was noted and, thus, genetic testing was performed and revealed osteogenesis imperfecta. After the fourth injury, we performed internal fixation with cannulated cancellous screw bilaterally. The patient had a short stature and the marked loss of bone density; therefore, the screw was kept in place until epiphyseal closure and bisphosphonate and human growth hormone were administered to prevent re-fracture and increase bone density and the growth rate. DISCUSSION The literature review revealed that the mean age of injury was 11.2 years for osteogenesis imperfecta cases and 14.9 years for non-osteogenesis imperfecta cases, with the former being injured at a younger age. CONCLUSION Osteogenesis imperfecta often causes diaphyseal fractures, which may be attributed to the fragility of the epiphyseal line. Therefore, the possibility of osteogenesis imperfecta needs to be considered when treating patients with epiphyseal injuries at rare sites, particularly younger children.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To screen the COL1A1 and COL1A2 gene mutation sites in a family with type I osteogenesis imperfecta (OI)/hearing loss and analyze the characteristics and recovery of hearing loss in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta. METHODS The basic clinical data of OI proband and her parents were collected, and the COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes were detected in peripheral blood by PCR amplification and generation Sanger sequencing. Literature of stapedial surgery in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta was collected. RESULTS The heterozygous mutation of the 26 exon c.1922_1923 ins C in the OI progenitor COL1A1 gene led to the amino acid frameshift mutation of p.Pro 601FS, which was not detected in the phenotypic parents. The homozygous of exon 28 c.1782>G in COL1A2 was detected in the proband and her parents, resulting in changes in the protein p.Pro 549Ala. CONCLUSION The clinical symptoms of the OI proband is caused by heterozygous mutation of the 26 exon c.1922_1923 ins C in COL1A1 gene. Stapedial surgery can provide short-term and long-term hearing benefits for OI patients with hearing loss. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 4.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare hereditary bone fragility disorder that affects 6-7 per 100,000 populations, and pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS) is a rare congenital defect with varying degrees of pituitary hormone deficiency, affecting approximately 0.5 in every 100,000 births. Currently, only two cases of these complications have been reported. A 46-year-old male who had experienced more than 20 fractures (peripheral and vertebral) during adolescence visited our hospital for close examination. He presented with blue sclerae and long bone deformations. We suspected OI because his mother and sister, who were being treated for osteoporosis, also had blue sclerae. Genetic testing identified a heterozygous variant (c.757C > T, p.Arg253Ter) in the COL1A1 gene, leading to the diagnosis of OI. His mother and sister also had the same variant. Considering that he underwent GH replacement therapy for his short stature during his childhood, his pituitary hormone levels were also evaluated to know if GH deficiency impacted low bone density; hypopituitarism was then suspected. The pituitary function test results led to the diagnoses of hypothalamic GH deficiency, hypogonadism, hypothyroidism, and hypoadrenocorticism. Furthermore, magnetic resonance imaging showed anterior pituitary atrophy, pituitary stalk loss, and ectopic posterior pituitary, leading to the diagnosis of PSIS. The combination of OI and hypopituitarism may have caused further bone fragility. Therefore, although rare, clinicians should keep in mind that patients with OI can possibly have concomitant pituitary insufficiency, which can lead to developmental and growth retardation.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a connective tissue disorder affecting the skeleton and other organs, which has multiple genetic patterns, numerous causative genes, and complex pathogenic mechanisms. The previous classifications lack structure and scientific basis and have poor applicability. In this paper, we summarize and sort out the pathogenic mechanisms of OI, and analyze the molecular pathogenic mechanisms of OI from the perspectives of type I collagen defects(synthesis defects, processing defects, post-translational modification defects, folding and cross-linking defects), bone mineralization disorders, osteoblast differentiation and functional defects respectively, and also generalize several new untyped OI-causing genes and their pathogenic mechanisms, intending to provide the evidence of classification and a scientific basis for the precise diagnosis and treatment of OI.

Abstract
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a heritable collagen-related bone dysplasia characterized by bone fractures, growth deficiency and skeletal deformity. Type XIV OI is a recessive OI form caused by null mutations in TMEM38B, which encodes the ER membrane intracellular cation channel TRIC-B. Previously, we showed that absence of TMEM38B alters calcium flux in the ER of OI patient osteoblasts and fibroblasts, which further disrupts collagen synthesis and secretion. How the absence of TMEM38B affects osteoblast function is still poorly understood. Here we further investigated the role of TMEM38B in human osteoblast differentiation and mineralization. TMEM38B-null osteoblasts showed altered expression of osteoblast marker genes and decreased mineralization. RNA-Seq analysis revealed that cell-cell adhesion was one of the most downregulated pathways in TMEM38B-null osteoblasts, with further validation by real-time PCR and Western blot. Gap and tight junction proteins were also decreased by TRIC-B absence, both in patient osteoblasts and in calvarial osteoblasts of Tmem38b-null mice. Disrupted cell adhesion decreased mutant cell proliferation and cell cycle progression. An important novel finding was that TMEM38B-null osteoblasts had elongated mitochondria with altered fusion and fission markers, MFN2 and DRP1. In addition, TMEM38B-null osteoblasts exhibited a significant increase in superoxide production in mitochondria, further supporting mitochondrial dysfunction. Together these results emphasize the novel role of TMEM38B/TRIC-B in osteoblast differentiation, affecting cell-cell adhesion processes, gap and tight junction, proliferation, cell cycle, and mitochondrial function.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a family of rare heritable skeletal disorders associated with dominant mutations in the collagen type I encoding genes and recessive defects in proteins involved in collagen type I synthesis and processing and in osteoblast differentiation and activity. Historically, it was believed that the OI bone phenotype was only caused by abnormal collagen type I fibrils in the extracellular matrix, but more recently it became clear that the altered bone cell homeostasis, due to mutant collagen retention, plays a relevant role in modulating disease severity in most of the OI forms and it is correlated to impaired bone cell differentiation. Despite in vitro evidence, in vivo data are missing. To better understand the physiopathology of OI, we used two zebrafish models: Chihuahua (Chi/+), carrying a dominant p.G736D substitution in the α1 chain of collagen type I, and the recessive p3h1-/-, lacking prolyl 3-hydroxylase (P3h1) enzyme. Both models share the delay of collagen type I folding, resulting in its overmodification and partial intracellular retention. The regeneration of the bony caudal fin of Chi/+ and p3h1-/- was employed to investigate the impact of abnormal collagen synthesis on bone cell differentiation. Reduced regenerative ability was evident in both models, but it was associated to impaired osteoblast differentiation and osteoblastogenesis/adipogenesis switch only in Chi/+. On the contrary, reduced osteoclast number and activity were found in both models during regeneration. The dominant OI model showed a more detrimental effect in the extracellular matrix organization. Interestingly, the chemical chaperone 4-phenylbutyrate (4-PBA), known to reduce cellular stress and increase collagen secretion, improved bone formation only in p3h1-/- by favoring caudal fin growth without affecting bone cell markers expression. Taken together, our in vivo data proved the negative impact of structurally abnormal collagen type I on bone formation but revealed a gene mutation-specific effect on bone cell differentiation and matrix organization in OI. These, together with the distinct ability to respond to the chaperone treatment, underline the need for precision medicine approaches to properly treat the disease.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a disorder of low bone mass and increased fracture risk due to a range of genetic variants that prominently include mutations in genes encoding type collagen. While it is well known that OI reflects defects in the activity of bone-forming osteoblasts, it is currently unclear whether OI also reflects defects in the many other cell types comprising bone, including defects in skeletal vascular endothelium or the skeletal stem cell populations that give rise to osteoblasts and whether correcting these broader defects could have therapeutic utility. Here, we find that numbers of skeletal stem cells (SSCs) and skeletal arterial endothelial cells (AECs) are augmented in Col1a2oim/oim mice, a well-studied animal model of moderate to severe OI, suggesting that disruption of a vascular SSC niche is a feature of OI pathogenesis. Moreover, crossing Col1a2oim/oim mice to mice lacking a negative regulator of skeletal angiogenesis and bone formation, Schnurri 3 (SHN3), not only corrected the SSC and AEC phenotypes but moreover robustly corrected the bone mass and spontaneous fracture phenotypes. As this finding suggested a strong therapeutic utility of SHN3 inhibition for the treatment of OI, a bone-targeting AAV was used to mediate Shn3 knockdown, rescuing the Col1a2oim/oim phenotype and providing therapeutic proof-of-concept for targeting SHN3 for the treatment of OI. Overall, this work both provides proof-of-concept for inhibition of the SHN3 pathway and more broadly addressing defects in the stem/osteoprogentior niche as is a strategy to treat OI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the patient-related factors that affect the revision rate for the tibia in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta treated with the Peter-Williams nail, and to explore the relationship between the risk factors and complications postsurgery. METHODS We retrospectively analysed the data of 211 patients (93 females (44.08%) and 118 males (55.92%)) with osteogenesis imperfecta treated with Peter-Williams. The factors affecting surgical revision were analysed by performing binary logistic regression. Then, a total of 211 patients with type III, type I or type IV OI were divided into five groups according to the results of regression. Statistical comparison of these groups was performed to further investigate the relationship between patient-related factors and revision procedures. Statistical comparison was also performed to analyse the relationship between the classification and postoperative complications. RESULTS Among the 211 patients who underwent surgery, 40 had type I OI, 109 had type IV OI, and 62 had type III OI. Binary logistic regression revealed that the classification (OR = 3.32, 95% CI 1.06-10.39, P = 0.039) and initial operation age (OR = 0.83, 95% CI 0.76-0.92, P < 0.001) were significantly correlated with revision procedures. In type III patients, the initial operation age was significantly correlated with revision procedures (P < 0.001), and the revision rate was lower in patients aged 9 to12 years (P = 0.001). In type I and IV patients, the initial operation age was not significantly correlated with revision procedures (P = 0.281). Classification had a significant effect on postoperative deformity (P = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS The study reported that the age of initial surgery and classification were the influencing factors affecting the revision procedures of tibia in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta treated with the Peter-Williams nail. In patients with type III disease, the revision rate was lower individuals aged 9-12 years old, and a higher incidence of postoperative deformity was observed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study assesses the association between health-related quality of life (HRQoL) for pediatric patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) and their caregivers' eHealth literacy (eHL), financial well-being, and mental health along with the impact of eHealth literacy on the financial well-being and mental health of OI caregivers. METHODS Participants were recruited from a member pool of two OI patient organizations in China. Information about patients' HRQoL and their caregivers' eHL, financial well-being, and mental health was collected. Structure equation modeling (SEM) was used to estimate the relationship between the measures. The robust weighted least square mean and variance adjusted estimator was used. Three criteria, the comparative fit index, the Tucker-Lewis index, and the root mean square error of approximation, were used to evaluate the goodness-of-fit of the model. RESULTS A total of 166 caregivers completed the questionnaires. Around 28.3% indicated that pediatric OI patients experienced problems related to mobility, and 25.3% reported difficulty doing usual activities. Around 52.4% of caregivers reported that their care receivers have some emotional problems while 8.4% reported that their care receivers have "a lot of" emotional problems. 'Some problems' on all dimensions on EQ-5D-Y was the most frequently reported health state (13.9%), and around 10.0% have no problems on all dimensions on EQ-5D-Y. Caregivers tended to show a significantly high eHL, financial well-being, and mental health when their care receivers reported no problems with usual activities and emotions. The SEM demonstrated a significant and positive relationship between eHL, financial well-being, and mental health. CONCLUSION OI caregivers with high eHL reported satisfactory financial well-being and mental health; their care receivers rarely reported living with poor HRQoL. Providing multicomponent and easy-to-learn training to improve caregivers' eHL should be highly encouraged.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE Rare congenital disorder osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) can make treating complex acetabular fractures-dislocations challenging. Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with locking plates and screws may not produce satisfactory results. We present the outcome of ORIF with reconstruction locking plate and screw augmented by bone grafts with recombinant bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) for OI type I child with Judet-Letournel both column type acetabular fracture associated with central hip dislocation. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of a 13-year-old female OI type I patient with right hip pain after falling while biking. Both eyes had blue sclera and OI family history. Intraoperatively, the Stoppa approach was used. Proximal femoral skeletal traction was used to reduce the femoral head and aid bone graft reconstruction of the acetabular wall. Intraosseous injection of rhBMP-2 was added. Fractures were fixed with a curved reconstruction locking plate and screws. Bones and soft tissues were gently manipulated to prevent blood loss. Radiographic and functional results were remarkable. CLINICAL DISCUSSION Fractures and blood loss are more likely to occur in OI type I patients due to collagen type I deficiency. Proximal femur skeletal traction is crucial for ORIF plating in acetabular fractures with central hip dislocation. This minimizes bone and soft tissue manipulation. RhBMP-2-injected bone grafts have structural support and osteoinductive properties that enhance bone healing. Despite its exceptional results in this case, further research is needed. CONCLUSION The combination of our technique and rhBMP-2 effectively accelerates bone healing in OI patient treated with ORIF.
