Osteogenesis+Imperfecta-+GChindemi



Osteogenesis Imperfecta disease is also known as "brittle bone disease." Osteogenesis Imperfecta disease is the disease where your bones have a mutation in which they produce poor proteins. Osteogenesis Imperfecta disease is inherited through your family. It is passed down to each generation as a dominant trait.

Example: 1. Lexi has Osteogenesis Imperfecta disease - her husband Chase does not. 2. They have 2 kids; Maddy and Shaeleigh. 3. Maddy has Osteogenesis Imperfecta disease, Shaeleigh does not.

In this example one parent has Osteogenesis Imperfecta disease and only one of the kids get the disease.
