Rare Bone Disorders
Led by Emily Germain-Lee, MD—a world-renowned pediatric endocrinologist specializing in rare bone disorders—Connecticut Children’s Center for Rare Bone Disorders treats patients from all over the world. Conditions we treat include Albright Hereditary Osteodystrophy (AHO), Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), Skeletal Dysplasias and many other genetic and metabolic bone disorders.
Dr. Germain-Lee is a distinguished researcher who established the first clinic dedicated to AHO and pioneered therapeutic approaches to treat AHO patients based on her findings. Because she follows the largest population of AHO patients worldwide, she is often able to identify and address underlying issues common to AHO patients before they progress, improving patients’ long-term health and quality of life. She also works on other rare bone disorders, focused on translating findings in the lab to therapies that can be delivered to patients to improve their quality of life.
Dr. Germain-Lee is on the Scientific Advisory Panel of the Rare Bone Disease Alliance and recently collaborated with nearly 50 global researchers on the first international Consensus Statement on diagnosis and management of pseudohypoparathyroidism and related disorders published in Nature Reviews Endocrinology.
“The most rewarding experience that I have on a regular basis is figuring out the diagnosis and treatment for a child who has been undiagnosed and then being able to change their life’s course through appropriate diagnosis, management, and treatment.”
