A Resource About Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I first responded to a question about "brittle-bone" disease some
months ago, I had little idea of the amount of interest the subject would have
for my readers. It was obvious to me that more information was needed about
this inherited disorder, correctly named Osteogenesis Imperfecta, which causes
bones to fracture easily and early in life. Some babies are born with
fractures or they may begin to occur in infancy and early childhood. A wealth
of information about caring for these children, as well as a newsletter and a
literature list, is obtainable free of charge, for a stamped self addressed
envelope, mailed directly to the Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation, Inc, P.O.
Box 14807, Clearwater, FL 34629-4807. Here is an excellent resource for those
of you who have written requesting more information
