[MIM 166 200, 166 210, 166 220, 166 230, 259 420, 259 440, 610 682, 610 915, 610 967, 610 968, 613 848, 613 849 , 613 982, 614 856, 615 066]
( Lobstein disease, brittle bone disease, blue sclerae disease, Porak and Durante disease)
Prevalence: 1/30,000. Autosomal dominant forms: mutations of COL1A1 gene (on 17q21.33) or COL1A2 gene (on 7q21.3) coding for the α1 and α2 chains of collagen. Autosomal recessive forms: mutations of the CRTAP (on 3p22), LEPRE1 (on 1p34.1) or PPIB (on 15q21 - q22) gene coding for collagen type I.
Different main types:
- type 1 (autosomal dominant, 60 % of cases): moderate form with blue sclerae or dentinogenesis imperfecta, sometimes late hearing loss. no growth delay;
- type 2 (autosomal dominant, 10 % of cases): lethal in the neonatal period.
- type 3 (autosomal recessive or dominant, 20 % of the cases): severe form with blue sclerae, dentinogenesis imperfecta and a triangular facies (" progressive distorting osteogenesis");
- type 4 (autosomal dominant, < 10 % of cases): intermediate form with normal sclerae and either imperfect or normal dentinogenesis.
Other types have been added:
- type 5 (autosomal dominant): form with hypertrophic bone calluses and calcification of the interosseous membrane and a dense metaphyseal band under the growth plate.
- type 6 (autosomal recessive transmission): form with normal sclerae and teeth, characterized by a moderate elevation of alkaline phosphatase blood levels, an increase in bone thickness and irregular bone lamination;
- type 7 (autosomal recessive linked to chromosome 3 p, outside the locus of collagen type I); form described in an Indian community with a high rate of inbreeding in Quebec, characterized by rhizomely and coxa vara, associated with slightly bluish sclerae.
- type 8: (autosomal recessive) due to a mutation of the LEPRE1 gene leading to a deficiency in prolyl 3-hydroxylase. This protein interacts with collagen type 1. This form is severe and generally lethal but a few cases have been reported where the osseous fragility is extreme (e.g.: fracture caused by non-invasive BP monitoring)
- Bruck syndrome (see this term)

In 50 % of cases, there is a high level of blood thyroxine, which explains that these patients often have a higher than normal basal body temperature, and perhaps, some cases of intraoperative hyperthermia.
In case of type 1, 3 or 5, IV pamidroate therapy increases bone density and reduces the risk of fracture.
Anesthetic implications:
Cases of regional anesthesia have been described: caudal, spinal, lumbar epidural (with or without prior ultrasound) including some failures. A case of reversible lactic acidosis has been described in a child suffering from osteogenesis imperfecta type 3 who benefited from IV total propofol anesthesia but with high dosage and following a 17-hour fasting period: prolonged fasting was probably the triggering factor.
In case of type 3, external cardiac massage is difficult to perform and probably ineffective in case of circulatory arrest.
