Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
OI (brittle bone disease) is a spectrum of disease caused by genetic mutation in the gene that en-codes for type I collagen. OI (brittle bone disease) is not caused by faulty synthesis of elastin, glycoproteins, or calcium salts.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
LCP affects the hip. This condition is not associated with the vertebrae, the shoulder, or the knee.
