Osteogenesis Imperfecta: A genetic disorder characterized by defective collagen synthesis leading to brittle bones, frequent fractures, and deformities. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern.
Osteopetrosis (Marble Bone Disease): A hereditary condition marked by increased bone density due to defective osteoclast-mediated bone resorption, resulting in brittle, sclerotic bones prone to fractures.
Cherubism: An autosomal dominant hereditary disorder causing bilateral, symmetrical expansion of the jaw bones, with fibrous tissue replacing normal bone, giving a "cherubic" facial appearance.
Cleido-cranial Dysplasia: A genetic disorder involving abnormal development of clavicles and skull bones, often associated with mutations affecting connective tissue, leading to clavicular aplasia and cranial deformities.

Hereditary bone lesions — definition?
Genetic disorders affecting bone structure or growth.
Osteogenesis imperfecta — key feature?
Fragile bones with frequent fractures.
Osteopetrosis — cause?
Defective osteoclast-mediated bone resorption.
Cherubism — inheritance?
Autosomal dominant.
Cleido-cranial dysplasia — main abnormality?
Clavicular aplasia and cranial deformities.
Hereditary vs acquired lesions — difference?
Genetic origin versus environmental or infectious causes.
