A reader asks about osteogenesis imperfecta known as brittle bone disease. The condition is inherited from a damaged collagen gene causing weak bones and frequent fractures. It affects all races, with eight forms and varying severity, from mild to lethal in childhood. Diagnosis can be delayed, but treatments include rehab and sometimes hormones or bisphosphonates.
