Ehlers-Danlos syndrome Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a group of disorders that affect the connective tissues that support the skin, bones, blood vessels, and many other organs and tissues. Defects in connective tissues cause the signs and symptoms of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which vary from mildly loose joints to life-threatening complications. Previously, there were more than 10 recognized types of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, differentiated by Roman numerals.

Oral Manifestations of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome • Hélène Buithieu, DMD, MSD •. Abstract. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a rare hereditary disease of the connective tissue which can present oral manifestations. A brief history of the disease is presented along with the epidemiology and characteristics of the 8 main phenotypes of the syndrome.

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Ehlers-Danlos syndrome facts. Ehlers-Danlos syndromes are a group of disorders which share common features including easy bruising, joint hypermobility (loose joints), skin that stretches easily (skin hyperelasticity or laxity), and weakness of tissues.

- Gerstmann Straussler Scheinker disease, also known as GSS, is a rare, fatal condition and is classed as a prion disease or a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy. Prion diseases are progressive neurological diseases that cause coordination, balance and cognitive function to deteriorate with time.

Hypermobility (joints) The inheritance pattern of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome varies by type. The arthrochalasia, classical, hypermobility, and vascular forms of the disorder have an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. Autosomal dominant inheritance means that one copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder.

- Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of hereditary connective tissue disorders characterized by defects of the major structural protein in the body (collagen).Collagen, a tough, fibrous protein, plays an essential role in holding together, strengthening, and providing elasticity to bodily cells and tissues.ome of the symptoms of the following disorders may be similar to those seen in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS). Comparisons may be useful for a differential diagnosis: Occipital horn syndrome (OHS), also known as X-linked cutis laxa, is a rare disorder that was formerly classified as a subtype of EDS (EDS type IX).

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is the name given to a group of more than 10 different inherited disorders; all involve a genetic defect in collagen and connective-tissue synthesis and structure. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome can affect the skin, joints, and blood vessels.

- (See Photos of Vascular Type-EDS) The Vascular Type of EDS is characterized by possible arterial or organ rupture as a result of spontaneous rupture of vessels or organs due to the result of even minor trauma. The Vascular Type of EDS is the most serious form of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

What are the Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes? The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are currently classified into thirteen subtypes. Each EDS subtype has a set of clinical criteria that help guide diagnosis; a patient’s physical signs and symptoms will be matched up to the major and minor criteria to identify the subtype that is the most complete fit.

Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome Although the underlying genetic cause of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), hypermobility type is unknown in most cases, it appears to follow an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. This means that to be affected, a person only needs a change (mutation) in one copy of the responsible gene in each cell.

Clinical and genetic aspects of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, classic type Classic Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a heritable connective tissue disorder characterized by skin hyperextensibility, fragile and soft skin, delayed wound healing with formation of atrophic scars, easy bruising, and generalized joint hypermobility.revalence and clinical diagnosis. Classic Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a heritable connective tissue disorder characterized mainly by skin hyperextensibility, abnormal wound healing, and joint hypermobility. The prevalence of classic EDS has been estimated to be 1:20,000.

Classical-like Ehlers-Danlos syndrome Summary Summary. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome due to tenascin-X deficiency (EDS due to TNX deficiency) is a form of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) characterized by an unusually large range of joint movement (hypermobility), skin that is soft, stretchy, and fragile and easy bruising.

Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome Although Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), hypermobility type is thought to be a genetic condition, the exact underlying cause is unknown in most cases. A small percentage of people with this condition have a change (mutation) in the TNXB gene.

EhlersâDanlos syndromes Collagen provides structure and strength to connective tissue. A defect in collagen can weaken connective tissue in the skin, bones, blood vessels, and organs, resulting in the features of the disorder. Inheritance patterns depend on the type of Ehlers–Danlos syndrome. Most forms of the condition are inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means only one of the two copies of the gene in question must be altered to cause the disorder.

What are the Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes? While there is no cure for the Ehlers-Danlos syndromes, there is treatment for symptoms, and there are preventative measures that are helpful for most. What can I do now? The Ehlers-Danlos Society members are sharing information online and learning from each other in ways that were impossible not very long ago.

Stickler syndrome Stickler syndrome. Stickler syndrome (hereditary progressive arthro-ophthalmopathy) is a group of genetic disorders affecting connective tissue, specifically collagen.[1] Stickler syndrome is a subtype of collagenopathy, types II and XI. Stickler syndrome is characterized by distinctive facial abnormalities, ocular problems, hearing loss, and joint problems. It was first studied and characterized by Gunnar B. Stickler in 1965.

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome: What Is It and How Is It Treated? Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is an inherited condition that affects the connective tissues in the body. Connective tissue is responsible for supporting and structuring the skin, blood vessels, bones, and organs. It’s made up of cells, fibrous material, and a protein called collagen. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is caused by a defect in collagen production. This condition is caused by a group of genetic disorders.

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Abnormalities in this protein, called tenascin, also lead to a form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Researchers suspect that tenascin could play a role in regulating the normal distribution of collagen in the connective tissues of the body.
