Pee power: urine test may replace needles for brittle bone diagnosis
NCT ID NCT02531087
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a urine test can help identify different genetic types of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a rare condition that causes bones to break easily. Researchers will measure certain collagen peptides in the urine of 25 people with OI. If successful, this could replace the need for blood or skin biopsies to determine the OI subtype.
