  • Week bones in people having marfanoid features...

    Is that to all syndromic (marfan) people that their bones are soft and not strong and suffers from fractures... ??
    I am more stronger than scoliosis. And I will not allow it to control my life.

    Osteogenesis imperfecta. It is a type of connective tissue disorder I believe, and there are various types and severities.
