Establishing the diagnosis 4 5 - Laboratory Evaluation: anti-dsDNA, C3, C4, UA - Kidney Biopsy Definition of Response Diagnostic Criteria Diagnostic Testing Goals of Therapy improvement in protein exrection, stabilization and improvement of creatinine, and improvement of urinary sedimentation * Labs: CBC, ANA, RF, Anti-Ro, Anti-La, ESR, total immunoglobulins, C3, C4, CRP, TSH, serum cryoglobulins, CMP * Ocular Surface Staining, Schirmer test, Tear break up time, Salivary Pooling * Salivary Gland ultrasonography, MRI, Salivary Gland biopsy The goal of immunosuppressive therapy is resolution of inflammatory and immunologic activity, with achievement of a complete response. Diagnosis is made if the following two criteria are met and other causes of ocular and oral dryness have been excluded 1. Objective findings of ocular or oral dryness or of glandular parenchymal damage 2. Evidence of underlying autoimmunity Treatment Modalities Initial Therapy: Glucocorticoids +MMF or Cyclophosphamide Subsequent therapy: MMF or Azathioprine IF medications not tolerable: Tacrolimus or Cyclosporine

Transcript: personal data 0856200 Family History Refrences Radiographic Findings The 3 children with documented donor osteoblast engraftment had a median 7.5-cm increase in body length (range, 6.5-8.0 cm) 6 months after transplantation compared with 1.25 cm (range, 1.0-1.5 cm) for age-matched control patients. These patients gained 21.0 to 65.3 g total body bone mineral content by 3 months after treatment or 45% to 77% of their baseline values. With extended follow-up, the patients' growth rates either slowed or reached a plateau phase. Bone mineral content continued to increase at a rate similar to that for weight-matched healthy children, even as growth rates declined. These results suggest that BMT from HLA-compatible donors may benefit children with severe OI. Further studies are needed to determine the full potential of this strategy Need Oral Radiographe for further investigation on the Maxilla and Mandible ( osteopenea) Genatic counseling Give Oral Hygiene and balanced diet instructions Follow up Clinical responses to bone marrow transplantation in children with severe osteogenesis imperfecta 3 Years Old Dental History Treatment Bisphosphonates Low impact exercises such as swimming In more severe cases, surgery to place metal rods into the long bones ADEL RADWAN Male Atrophic red area on the dorsal surface of the tongue surrounded by an elevated whitish border Regular Check up Extra-Oral Examenation Preclinical models have shown that transplantation of marrow mesenchymal cells has the potential to correct inherited disorders of bone, cartilage, and muscle. The report describes clinical responses of the first children to undergo allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) for severe osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a genetic disorder characterized by defective type I collagen, osteopenia, bone fragility, severe bony deformities, and growth retardation. Five children with severe OI were enrolled in a study of BMT from human leukocyte antigen (HLA)–compatible sibling donors. Linear growth, bone mineralization, and fracture rate were taken as measures of treatment response. The 3 children with documented donor osteoblast engraftment had a median 7.5-cm increase in body length (range, 6.5-8.0 cm) 6 months after transplantation compared with 1.25 cm (range, 1.0-1.5 cm) for age-matched control patients. These patients gained 21.0 to 65.3 g total body bone mineral content by 3 months after treatment or 45% to 77% of their baseline values. With extended follow-up, the patients' growth rates either slowed or reached a plateau phase. Bone mineral content continued to increase at a rate similar to that for weight-matched healthy children, even as growth rates declined. These results suggest that BMT from HLA-compatible donors may benefit children with severe OI. Further studies are needed to determine the full potential of this strategy. Osteogenesis Imperfecta diagnosed at 6 weeks of age Bronchopneumonia Multiple Bone Fractures Bisphosphanate Treatment Ca injections every 6 months Medical History Geographic Tongue The classic symptoms include: •Blue tint to the whites of their eyes (blue sclera) •Multiple bone fractures •Early hearing loss (deafness) Because type I collagen is also found in ligaments, persons with OI often have loose joints (hypermobility) and flat feet. Some types of OI also lead to the development of poor teeth. Symptoms Large Head Bilateral Flexed extremities Short Bilateral Humerus THANK YOU Provisional Diagnosis The 3 children with documented donor osteoblast engraftment had a median 7.5-cm increase in body length (range, 6.5-8.0 cm) 6 months after transplantation compared with 1.25 cm (range, 1.0-1.5 cm) for age-matched control patients.

It is frequently caused by defect in the gene that produces type 1 collagen, an important building block of bone. There are many different defects that can affect this gene. The severity of OI depends on the specific gene defect. OI is an autosomal dominant disease. That means if you have one copy of the gene, you will have the disease. Most cases of OI are inherited from a parent, although some cases are the result of new genetic mutations. A person with OI has a 50% chance of
