  • 4 - Wrapping up Osteopetrosis (Intermediate, Renal Tubular acidosis & X-linked)

    Here we show the effects the last two and most rare forms have on the body as a whole. Over the last 3 episodes, it’s been clear how we see similarities and a few differences on how Osteopetrosis effects the body as the degree of severity and inheritance pattern changes. Genetic mutations are always present.

  • 3 - Autosomal Recessive Osteopetrosis

    This form is much more severe. Here we will talk about the causes and it’s many effects on the skeletal, blood, nervous, immune and endocrine system.

  • 2 - Autosomal Dominant Osteopetrosis

    Here we go in depth about genetic mutations, specific genetic malfunctions associated with Autosomal Dominant Osteopetrosis, and it’s localized effects on the bones. This is also the most commonly diagnosed form of the disease and has less severe effects on the entire body. The next episodes will show how more severe manifestions of the disease effect much more than just the skeletal system.
