MAIN SEARCH INDEX Ehlers-Danlos syndrome Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources Definition The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) refer to a group of inherited disorders that affect collagen structure and function. Genetic abnormalities in the manufacturing of collagen within the body affect connective tissues, causing them to be abnormally weak. Description Collagen is a strong, fibrous protein that lends strength and elasticity to connective tissues such as the skin, tendons, organ walls, cartilage, and blood vessels. Each of these connective tissues requires collagen tailored to meet its specific purposes. The many roles of collagen are reflected in the number of genes dedicated to its production. There are at least 28 genes in humans that encode at least 19 different types of collagen. Mutations in these genes can affect basic construction as well as the fine-tuned processing of the collagen. EDS was originally described by Dr. Van Meekeren in 1682. Dr. Ehlers and Dr. Danlos further characterized the disease in 1901 and 1908, respectively. Today, according to the Ehlers-Danlos National Foundation, one in 5,000 to one in 10,000 people are affected by some form of EDS. EDS is a group of genetic disorders that usually affects the skin, ligaments, joints, and blood vessels. Classification of EDS types was revised in 1997. The new classification involves categorizing the different forms of EDS into six major sub-types, including classical, hypermobility, vascular, kyphoscoliosis, arthrochalasia, and dermatosparaxis, and a collection of rare or poorly defined varieties. This new classification is simpler and based more on descriptions of the actual symptoms.

May 1994 EHLERS-DANLOS SYNDROME ASSOCIATED WITH OLLIER DISEASE Mohammed Moussa, MCh(Ortho), PhD; Anwar Ul-Haque, FCAP; Ake Ahlberg, PhD From the Departments of Orthopedic Surgery (Drs. Moussa and Ahlberg) and Pathology (Dr. Ul-Haque), King Fahd Hospital of the University, Al-Khobar. Address reprints and correspondence to Dr. Moussa: Department of Orthopedic Surgery, King Fahd Hospital of the University, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, P.O. Box 40194, Al-Khobar 31952, Saudi Arabia. Accepted for publication 24 November 1993. The association of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), a hereditary disorder of connective tissue, and Ollier disease, a rare, nonhereditary form of bone dysplasia, in a five-year-old female, is described. This association has not been reported before. The possibility of a common etiological factor is discussed. Case Report A five-year-old Syrian female presented with limping. She had a true shortening of the right lower limb of 4 cm. The skin was hyperextensible (Figure 1) but normal in texture. Joint hypermobility was prominent in the hands (Figure 2), feet and knees. She had 35_ and 15_ genu recurvatum for the right and left knee respectively (Figure 3). Sclerae, fundi, cornea, teeth and palate were normal. Two systolic clicks and a late systolic murmur were audible at the cardiac apex. The cardiac murmur increased in intensity on squatting, indicating asymptomatic mitral valve prolapse. FIGURE 1. Moderate skin hyperextensibility at the knee.

Main Search Index Definition Description Causes ... Resources Ehlers-Danlos syndrome Definition Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) refers to a group of disorders linked by genetic defects that affect collagen structure and function. Collagen is a major protein in the body and forms the base foundation for connective tissues. Owing to a genetic defect in collagen manufacture, tissues affected are abnormally weak, depending on the specific genetic defect. Major symptoms can include skin fragility, excessive skin stretchability, and excessively loose joints. Some types of EDS are characterized by fragile blood vessels or abnormal spine curvature. Description Collagen is a strong, fibrous protein that lends strength and elasticity to connective tissues such as the skin, tendons, organ walls, cartilage, and blood vessels. Each of these connective tissues requires collagen tailored to meet its specific purposes. The many roles of collagen are reflected in the number of genes dedicated to its production. There are at least 28 genes in humans that encode 16 different types of collagen. Defects in these genes can affect basic construction as well as the fine-tuned processing of the collagen. According to the Ehlers-Danlos National Foundation, 1 in 5,000 to 1 in 10,000 people are affected by some form of EDS. EDS is an inherited disease, and its pattern depends on the affected gene. There are three types of inherited patterns: autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, and X-linked (extremely rare).

Mental Health Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Description (EDS) is a diverse group of hereditary connective tissue disorders , characterised by articular (joint) hypermobility, skin extensibility and tissue fragility. ). Typically only one type of EDS will run through a family. The fragile skin and unstable joints found in EDS are the result of faulty collagen. Collagen is a protein which acts as a "glue" in the body, adding strength and elasticity to connective tissue. Prevalence is estimated as 1 in 5,000 to 1 in 10,000. It is known to affect both males and females of all racial and ethnic backgrounds. Symptoms and Signs Clinical manifestations of EDS are most often skin and joint related and may include: Skin molluscoid pseudotumours Joints . Joint hypermobility; loose/unstable joints which are prone to frequent dislocations and/or subluxations; joint pain; hyperextensible joints (they move beyond the joint's normal range); early onset of osteoarthritis.

Oral Manifestations of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Yves Létourneau, DMD • Rénald Pérusse, DMD, MD • 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. The article also describes the case of a 12-year-old patient presenting with hypermobility of the temporo-mandibular joint and capillary fragility, and highlights the precautions to take when treating patients with this syndrome.

The first description of the syndrome in the literature was of a young Spaniard who was able to stretch the skin overlying his right pectoral muscle over to the left angle of his mandible. In 1901, Ehlers described the condition as a hyperelasticity of the skin and a strong tendency to bruising. In 1908, Danlos introduced the idea that the condition represented a pseudo-tumour of a molluscoid or fibrous type. It was not until 1934 that Pommeau-Delille and Soussie described the condition as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Other evocative terms such as “elastic man” (or woman) or “India rubber man” have been used.

The syndrome sometimes involves rupture of internal organs. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) can occur in different forms involving vessels, skin, and/or joints with a variety of different genetic defects as their cause. Different forms of EDS have different modes of inheritance. Family history is a risk factor in some cases.

There are a number of possible causes for genetic defects: They may be caused by an unwelcome mutation, as are most cancers. There are genetic disorders caused by the accidental duplication of a chromosome, as in Down syndrome, or repeated duplication of part of a chromosome as in Fragile X syndrome. The defective genes are often inherited from the person's parents. In this case, the genetic disorder is known as a hereditary disease . This can often happen unxpectedly when two healthy carriers of a defective recessive gene reproduce, but can also happen when the defective gene is dominant.
