Serum calcitonin and bone mineral content in the forearm, measured by photon absorptiometry, were investigated in 21 patients with osteogenesis imperfecta tarda. The bone mineral content was significantly reduced as compared with normal controls, whereas the bone mineral content corrected for bone width was normal in adult patients but subnormal in children and young adults. Serum calcitonin did not differ significantly from that in normal individuals and no relation was found between serum calcitonin and bone mineral content.Downloads
