Osteopetrosis, literally "stone bone", also known as marble bone
disease or Albers-Schönberg disease, is an extremely
rare inherited disorder whereby the bones harden, becoming denser, in
contrast to more prevalent conditions like osteoporosis, in which the bones
become less dense and more brittle, or osteomalacia, in which the bones
soften. Osteopetrosis can cause bones to dissolve and break.[1]
