About this trial
ROI is a retrospective and prospective registry, finalized for care and research purposes. It is articulated in main sections - strongly related and mutually dependent on each other - corresponding to different data domains: personal information, clinical data, genetic data, genealogical data, surgeries, etc. This approach has been developed to corroborate and integrate data from different sources evaluating several aspects of diseases and to correlate genetic background and phenotypic outcomes, in order to better investigate diseases pathophysiology. Due to legal requirements, institutional directives and organizational issues, we are unable to include individuals residing outside Italy in the registry at this time. We are currently engaged in the preparation of a recruitment process for individuals residing outside Italy.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Natural History and Epidemiology
To maintain an established registry in order to assess epidemiology and natural history. Collection of physical examinations (severity of the disease), orthopaedics and functionals data (number of fractures, fracture sites, deafness, etc.), genetics background (target gene, type of mutation, etc.), family history (inheritance in maternal or paternal line, etc.) and treatment information (pharmacological, devices, supplements, and other treatments). Clinical, orthopedic, surgical, treatment and functional features are updated at each follow up. Clinical reports, medical charts and imaging are the primary source of data.
Secondary outcomes
Genotype-Phenotype Correlation
The secondary outcome comprises the correlation between genotype and phenotype. This includes, but is not limited to clinical features and genetic background. This will be pursued using the information collected during visits and follow-ups and the genetic information resulting from molecular investigations.
Other outcomes
Disease evolution
This outcome aims to investigate the evolution of Osteogenesis Imperfecta during time. This will be evaluated within the families and among the families. Main clinical features, such as height, number of fractures, bone evaluations, will be collected both retrospectively and prospectively. An evaluation of these parameters will be performed at each visit to keep track on the progression of clinical manifestations.
