Osteogenesis Imperfecta Types
Since 1979, OI has been classified by type according to a scheme developed by David Sillence,
M.D. This system is based on mode of inheritance, clinical picture, and radiologic appearance.
The OI type descriptions provide some information to the clinician and family about a person’s
prognosis, but they do not predict functional outcome. It is also important to note that the
severity of OI ranges greatly; the different types of OI represent somewhat arbitrary cutoffs
along a continuum. As a result, the severity of the disorder may vary significantly among people
who have the same type. The OI classification scheme has continued to evolve as new
information about OI is discovered.
