To read the full abstract: J Bone Miner Res 2018;33(7):1260-1271Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is characterized by early-onset skeletal fragility, often short stature, blue sclerae and some other features. OI is caused by mutations in the two genes encoding type I collagen, namely COL1A1 and COL1A2. Some previous reports have indicated that when the mutation involves the C-propeptide cleavage site in e...

Brief summary: The authors developed a model to estimate the worldwide prevalence of Type 1 diabetes (T1D) in 2040. Compared to 2021, when an estimated 8.4 million individuals had T1D (including 18% < 20 years), the prevalent cases are expected to increase to 13.5–17.4 million in 2040, with the largest relative increase taking place in low- and middle-income countries.This model, using published data (available from only 97 countries worldwide) ...
