- 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
