Sounds like you may: not have it. It is a collagen disorder which causes "brittle bones". The diagnosis is made by a very difficult collagen analysis which takes about 2 months, usually at Dr. Peter Buyer's lab at the U.of Washington. It may be passed from generation to generation. Characterized by multiple fractures from trivial forces. Very variable--one sib may have 20 fractures, and another may have none.
