A 12-year-old boy from Uttar Pradesh, India, has endured over 100 fractures in his lifetime, earning him the local nickname “glass bones” due to his severe condition.

Rohit suffers from osteogenesis imperfecta, commonly known as “brittle bone disease.” His case is exceptionally severe, making even the slightest touch a potential cause for a bone fracture, rendering him unable to engage in play like other children.

Additionally, Rohit’s condition has stunted his growth, with the 12-year-old weighing only 15 kg and standing at 17 inches tall. This is the poignant story of an Indian boy grappling with a rare and severe case of osteogenesis imperfecta.
