Osteogrodyplasia

Osteogrogyplasia, also known as osteogenesis imperfecta, is a genetic disorder characterized by fragile bones that break easily, often with little or no apparent cause. It results from abnormalities in collagen, a protein essential for strong bones. People with this condition may experience frequent fractures, hearing loss, dental problems, and a shorter stature. The severity varies widely, from mild to severe. While there's no cure, treatments like medication, physical therapy, and surgeries can help manage symptoms, improve bone strength, and enhance quality of life.
