Data shown are median with IQ range [25%; 75%]. OI type V vs Reference (Mann Whitney):
p<0.01;
p<0.001;
p<0.0001.
For qBEI measurement, 15 biopsy samples were evaluated (cortical n=15; cancellous n=12). For OLS analysis, the minimal bone area was achieved in 15 samples (cortical n=15; cancellous n=5).
(38). The reference OLS data for Cn and Ct were obtained from 6 control children.
