Summary Introduction

To review:

A 12-month study that indicates bone growth due to an increase in the vertebral area among children having osteogenesis imperfecta (OI).

Introduction:

Osteogenesis is the disorder of the bones in the human body due to the malfunction of certain genes. These genes affect a protein called collagen that helps in making the bones strong, leading to osteogenesis. Collagen produces structural support for cell attachment (scaffolding) as the bones develop. People suffering from OI have their scaffolding weakened and thus, become prone to bone damage.
