Answer:

osteogenesis imperfecta is an inherited genetic disease that mainly affects the bones.

Explanation:

Osteogenesis imperfecta is an inherited genetic disease associated with alterations in collagen synthesis, which have been shown to increase the risk to suffer bone fractures. This genetic disorder is characterized by different health problems including, among others, fragile bones, reduced skeletal mass, skin hyperlaxity, malformations in the central nervous system, etc. Clinically, osteogenesis imperfecta must be managed by an interdisciplinary medical team, since patients may present a clinical picture ranging from mild to lethal. In the first place, it is imperative to provide health care to avoid fractures, exercises to maintain muscle mass, exercise to improve motor skills, skincare by specialized dermatologists, etc.
