Scientists investigate why breathing fails in brittle bone disease
NCT ID NCT05317637
Summary
This study aims to understand why people with osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone disease) often develop serious breathing problems. Researchers will examine 18 adults with the condition through medical history, questionnaires, physical exams, and lung imaging tests. The goal is to identify patterns in lung structure and function that could explain why respiratory failure is the leading cause of death in this population.
