Yes, osteogenesis imperfecta is an autosomal dominant hereditary defect.  If you carry only one copy (from one parent) of this defective gene, your child will have a 50% chance of getting this disease;  If you carry both copies (from both parents) of this gene, all your children will have this defect, assuming that the sperm recipient (the mother) is normal.
