Hello,
It is a congenital condition affecting collagen synthesis which might cause different problems during the growth and development. The collagen based structures like ligament and bones will be brittle and the child might be prone to develop fractures and injuries more frequently. There are various types and prognosis may vary between them.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
