University of Paris Details Findings in Osteogenesis Imperfecta (Genetics and Bone Mineral Density Predict the Fractures In Adults With Osteogenesis Imperfecta: a Prospective Study).

A study conducted by the University of Paris focused on Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), a rare genetic bone disorder characterized by recurrent fractures. The research examined bone mineral density (BMD) and genetics as predictors of fractures in adults with OI. The study found that individuals with low BMD at the lumbar spine and specific genetic variants had a higher probability of fractures. This peer-reviewed research provides valuable insights into the risk factors associated with OI and highlights the importance of monitoring BMD in individuals with this condition.
