  1. marble bones disease

    Marble bones disease, also known as osteopetrosis, is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a significant increase in bone density. This occurs due to a defect in the function of osteoclasts, the cells responsible for breaking down and resorbing bone tissue, resulting in abnormal bone formation and growth. This can lead to various complications such as fractures, anemia, infections, and nerve-related issues caused by the dense bones pressing on nerves. The term "marble bones" comes from the marble-like appearance of the bones in X-ray imaging.
