Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (TYPEI) with Mental Retardation -an Unusual Association (Reports on Two Brothers)
Ehlers Danlos syndrome (EDS) is an inherited connective tissue disease due to impaired collagen metabolism. Joint hypermobility and skin hyper extensibility are the major findings. Six types of EDS are recognized. Type I or Gravis type is characterized by skin hyperextensibility, joint hypermobility, skin splitting autosoml dominancy inheritance, preterm premature rupture of membrane (PPROM) an...
متن کاملDefective initiation of glycosaminoglycan synthesis due to B3GALT6 mutations causes a pleiotropic Ehlers-Danlos-syndrome-like connective tissue disorder.
Proteoglycans are important components of cell plasma membranes and extracellular matrices of connective tissues. They consist of glycosaminoglycan chains attached to a core protein via a tetrasaccharide linkage, whereby the addition of the third residue is catalyzed by galactosyltransferase II (β3GalT6), encoded by B3GALT6. Homozygosity mapping and candidate gene sequence analysis in three ind...
متن کاملAn Iranian family with cutis laxa and classic Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a heterogenous group of inherited disorders of connective tissue characterized by fragility of the skin and blood vessels, hyperextensibility of the skin and joint hypermobility. Cutis laxa is characteized clinically by lax, pendulous skin and histologically by loss of elastic tissue in the dermis. There are some reports of coexistence of cutis laxa with ot...

متن کاملMusculocontractural Ehlers–Danlos syndrome and neurocristopathies: dermatan sulfate is required for Xenopus neural crest cells to migrate and adhere to fibronectin
Of all live births with congenital anomalies, approximately one-third exhibit deformities of the head and face. Most craniofacial disorders are associated with defects in a migratory stem and progenitor cell population, which is designated the neural crest (NC). Musculocontractural Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (MCEDS) is a heritable connective tissue disorder with distinct craniofacial features; this...
