There are several types of osteopetrosis, including:
- Autosomal Dominant Osteopetrosis: This form is typically milder, and symptoms may not appear until adulthood.
- Autosomal Recessive Osteopetrosis: This form is more severe and often presents in infancy or childhood, with a higher risk of complications.
- Intermediate Osteopetrosis: A less common type that is more severe than the dominant form but not as severe as the recessive form.
