   Abstract : Against a backdrop of feminist and social scientific research on sex, female embodiment, and normality this thesis aims to discern how young women, who in adolescence have learned that their bodies are developing in ways considered ‘atypical’ for the female sex, make sense of their bodies and their situation. In focus are the ways in which the women make sense of and negotiate female embodiment; how they, particularly in stories about their interactions with others, position their embodied selves; and how norms and beliefs about sexed embodiment, heterosexual practice, and in/fertility are strengthened and challenged in the interviewees’ sense-making.

6. 4. Clinical, histopathologic and genetic diagnosis in osteogenesis imperfecta and dentinogenesis imperfecta

   Author : Barbro Malmgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []

   Abstract : The aims of this thesis were to investigate (1) dental aberrations in a large sample of unrelated patients with different types and forms of OI, (2) degree of dentin dysplasia in relation to type and form of OI and clinical, radiographic, and microscopic manifestations and type of DI, and (3) genotypes and phenotypes in two families with DI type II with special reference to clinical, radiographic, and histopathologic manifestations. In study I, morphological and clinical variation in the expression of DI within one family was described. READ MORE
