- Abstract
A paper published in Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases proposes a new classification of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) based upon underlying pathological mechanisms. The proposed numbering of OI types conflicts with the currently used numbering and is likely to lead to confusion. In addition, classification of OI according to underlying pathogenic mechanisms is not novel.
