A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Osteogenesis imperfecta is a group of disorders that cause bone fragility due to an error in the genetic code for type i collagen. All tissues that are composed of type i collagen are affected. There are many subtypes ranging in severity and associated comorbidities, but all include fragile bones. Among other systems that can be affected are dental and auditory systems.
