Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic disease due to a mutation in one of the genes encoding either type I collagen or a protein involved in its synthesis. This leads to bone fragility with fractures and deformities. However, other tissues rich in type I collagen can also be affected, such as teeth or vessel walls. In the literature, several case reports describe tendon ruptures in OI patients, but no original study has really addressed this issue, which is likely to impact the quality of life through a reduction in mobility and pain. Recent work carried out by the investigators shows an alteration of the osteotendinous unit in the osteogenesis imperfecta mouse (oim), a validated model of the most severe form of OI. Consequently, the project aims to study the damage of tendon and ligament in patients suffering from osteogenesis imperfecta.
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), also known as brittle bone disease, is a group of genetic disorders that mainly affect the bones. It results in bones that break easily. Its severity may be mild to severe. Other symptoms may include a blue tinge to the whites of the eye, short height, loose joints, hearing loss, breathing problems and problems with the teeth. Physiotherapy is aimed to strengthen muscles and improve motility in a gentle manner, while minimizing the risk of fracture, and the use of support cushions to improve posture.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of romosozumab treatment for 12-months compared with bisphosphonate(s) on the number of clinical fractures at 12-months; the number of any fractures at 12-months and change in lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) Z-score at 6-months.
This research study aims to evaluate the effect of a 6-month adapted physical activity program (APA) on the endurance capacities (evaluated as the maximum oxygen consumption [VO2 peak]) of children and adolescents with Osteogenesis Imperfecta.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of setrusumab vs intravenous bisphosphonates (IV-BP) on reduction in fracture rate, including morphometric vertebral fractures in pediatric participants.
The aim is to determine whether vestibular deficits are present in OI, then to establish whether a correlation exists between genetic type, severity of OI and audiovestibular phenotype. OI patients aged 12 to 20 years will undergo an audiometric, immittance, and vestibular assessment. When hearing loss is conductive or mixed or in cases where vestibular deficits are identified, a CT scan without injection will be performed. In case of sensorineural hearing loss or abnormal CT results, an MRI will be performed.
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a group of congenital and heritable bone disorders that currently affects at least 50,000 people in the United States. OI varies in severity from perinatally lethal to mild forms. The majority of cases is caused by a dominant mutation in type I collagen genes (COL1α1 and COL1α2), altering the quantity or quality of type I collagen. Although OI is typically characterized as a disease of the bone, it is perhaps more accurately described as a connective tissue disorder. Type I collagen is a major constituent of lung connective tissue. Respiratory insufficiency is the leading cause of death in patients with OI. Thus, it is important and necessary to understand the etiology of the restrictive pulmonary physiology in the OI population.
