The History of Osteogenesis Imperfecta

     I wanted to learn about the history of Osteogenesis Imperfecta so I decided to do some research. I wish I could have went to the library but unfortunately I'm on their naughty list ;-). So as any other person would do I googled the information that I found was located at this link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteogenesis_imperfecta#History

     I found that OI was not always called OI. OI was named after two doctors that studied the disease during their time. Which is typical of anything that someone finds or studies. I then tried to find the very first individual that was diagnosed with OI. I came across a king from the ancient Egyptian time. He was said to have soft skin with soft bones, and this is why he was nicknamed Ivar the Boneless. It was said that since his bones were soft he had to be carried around with a shield because he could not walk.
