Osteogenesis imperfecta is dominant or recessive?

Osteogenesis imperfecta is typically inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning one copy of the mutated gene is enough to cause the condition. However, in some cases, it can be inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern if both parents are carriers of the mutated gene.


What part of the body is generally effected by osteogenesis imperfecta?

Osteogenesis imperfecta primarily affects the bones in the body, leading to brittle bones that are prone to fractures. It can also affect other connective tissues such as ligaments and tendons. Symptoms can vary widely depending on the type and severity of the condition.


Which type of cell appears first during osteogenesis?

Osteoprogenitor cells, also known as mesenchymal stem cells, are the first type of cell to appear during osteogenesis. These cells have the potential to differentiate into osteoblasts, which are responsible for bone formation.


A child has a knobby rib cage enlarged forehead and lower limbs are bent what is the diagnosis?

The symptoms described—knobby rib cage, enlarged forehead, and bent lower limbs—are indicative of a condition known as osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), commonly referred to as "brittle bone disease." This genetic disorder affects collagen production, leading to fragile bones, skeletal deformities, and distinctive facial features. The combination of these symptoms suggests a possible type of OI, which requires further clinical evaluation for confirmation and management options.
