Scientists have discovered more than 20 known genetic causes of OI. Our team is here to help you and your child manage the most common and the rarest types, including OI type I, OI type III and OI type IV, and other related conditions like X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH), hypophosphatasia (HHP) and fibrous dysplasia (FD). We also look at your family’s full health picture by offering family risk evaluations, so you can make confident decisions moving forward.
In a continual effort to pursue groundbreaking developments in OI and metabolic bone disease, Phoenix Children’s OI Clinic is one of just a select number of sites that are part of the Longitudinal Study of Osteogenesis Imperfecta conducted by the Brittle Bone Disorders Consortium. This research study is funded by the National Institutes of Health and seeks to improve the health and quality of life of people with OI disease.
