NCT ID NCT02531087
Summary
This study aims to see if a new urine test can help doctors better understand and classify different types of Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), a rare condition that makes bones break easily. Researchers will collect urine samples from 25 people with OI who have specific genetic mutations. The goal is to find a simpler way to identify disease subtypes compared to current blood or skin tests.
