Researchers identify gene responsible for increased risk of infantile fragility

An intrauterine fracture is a rare finding during routine prenatal imaging. This condition can be due to maternal trauma or genetic disorders of the skeleton, as well as other predisposing maternal metabolic and vascular disorders. Genetic disorders that have previously been reported to cause intrauterine fracture include brittle bone disease (osteogenesis imperfecta or OI), osteopetrosis, hypophosphatasia and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS).
