What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Summary

This study looked at people with suspected bone-related connective tissue disorders (like brittle bone disease) and their healthy family members. The goal was to learn more about these conditions, train doctors, and collect samples for future research. Participants received standard care and tests like X-rays, blood draws, and sometimes skin biopsies or MRI scans.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

* INCLUSION CRITERIA: Individuals with a suspected bone-related connective tissue disorder, as indicated by signs including, but not limited to, fractures, low bone density, asymmetric overgrowth of long bone OR Apparently unaffected, healthy family members of individuals with a suspected bone-related connective tissue disorder. Ages to be enrolled are from 0-70 years old, with only viable neonates accepted at age 0 years. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: Individuals who, in the opinion of the Investigator, are unable to comply with the protocol or have medical conditions that would potentially increase the risk of participation. For both affected individuals and apparently healthy family members, no exclusions are based on age, gender, ethnicity or race, religion, or English-language ability. Those who are pregnant, whether affected or unaffected, will be excluded from any exam that includes radiation, but not excluded from the study overall.
