| Abstract [eng] |
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), also known as brittle bone disease, belongs to a rare heterogeneous group of inherited connective tissue disorders. In experienced prenatal centers, severe cases of OI can be suspected before birth from the first trimester prenatal ultrasound screening. In this article, we describe a case report of OI suspected at the 26th week of gestation and the patient’s outcomes in infancy one year after birth, as well as compare our case to other prenatally or soon-after-birth suspected and/or diagnosed OI clinical case reports in the literature. This case was managed by a multidisciplinary team. In this clinical case, OI was first suspected when prenatal ultrasound revealed asymmetric intrauterine growth restriction and skeletal dysplasia features. The diagnosis was confirmed after birth using COL1A1 gene variant detection via exome sequencing; the COL1A1 gene variant causes OI types I–IV. The familial history was negative for both pregnancy-related risk factors and genetic diseases. At one year old, the patient’s condition remains severe with bisphosphonate therapy. |
