In our preclinical mouse studies we have identified immune dysfunction in mouse models of osteogenesis imperfecta, also known as brittle bone disease. We then successfully restored bone strength in these mice with our patented adoptive cell therapy treatment.
In this study we will collect small volume blood samples from patients with osteogenesis imperfecta. We will then analyze these blood samples through a variety of methods to determine if osteogenesis imperfecta patients have the same immune dysfunction as we have seen in our mice studies.
