The new book on OI is here! Interdisciplinary Treatment Approach for Children with Osteogenesis Imperfecta is now available. It focuses on our interdisciplinary approach to treatment and reflects the current state of our knowledge of this disease. To order, simply print the PDF order form, fill it out and send it back to us. (Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to view this order form) Now also available in French and Spanish! We have now started 2 new clinical studies for the treatment of OI. One with the drug risedronate for mild OI-I patients and one with zoledronate for patients with severe OI. For more details, please visit our Ongoing Projects page. We are now looking for the gene responsible for Osteogenesis Imperfecta type VI. We'd like to get DNA samples from families with OI type VI. If you or your child has been diagnosed with OI type VI, contact us. We now have a new cutting edge machine to measure bone density in the arm, a peripheral Quantitative Computer Tomography (pQCT) scanner. It measures bone density for a cross-section of the bones in the forearm. This gives more detailed information and other kinds of measures of bone density with less radiation. A new comprehensive reference book entitled Pediatric Bone has contributions by members of the Genetics Unit team.
