Abstract excerpt
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), an inherited connective tissue disorder, primarily results from genetic variants that alter collagen-I. Collagen-I also plays a crucial role in intestinal structure and function. A recent large cohort reported an increased risk of gastrointestinal diseases in OI patients, including peptic ulcer disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and constipation. However, the extent of intestinal...
