Top Specialty Definition: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (From Wikipedia , the free Encyclopedia) Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a group of rare genetic disorders that diminish the body's ability to make connective tissues. This results in unstable, flexible joints, including double-jointedness, and elastic, fragile, soft skin that easily forms welts and scars. Other symptoms include eye problems and nearsightedness.

In general, these are due to collagen (a naturally occurring protein) abnormality. Common characteristics include abnormalities of the skin, ligaments and, in some instances, internal organs. Problems include fragile andIor stretchy skin, bruising, poor wound healing and loose joints, which are prone to dislocation and subluxation (partial dislocation). Chronic joint and limb pain is common even when skeletal radiographs are normal. Early degenerative arthritis, mitral valve prolapse and hernias may also present problems. Prematurity due to rupture of the fetal membranes can occur in pregnancy. When bruising presents in a child it may be incorrectly attributed to non-accidental injury. These problems form the major difficulties bringing patients to the notice of Medical and Surgical Specialists. Many patients will be directed to Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy for help with the musculoskeletal and ergonomic aspects.

Community Advisor Search Send to a friend Home  Diseases, Conditions and Injuries Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome by Rick Alan Definition Causes Risk Factors ... Organizations Definition Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of rare hereditary disorders involving connective tissues. Connective tissues are the tissues that support parts of the body. Examples of connective tissues are skin, tendons, ligaments, and muscles. EDS usually results in over-flexible (hypermobile) joints, over-elastic (hyperelastic) skin, and fragile tissue. Causes EDS is caused by defects in the genes that control the formation of connective tissue. The specific genetic defect in most types of EDS affects the production of collagen. Collagen is a structural protein. It strengthens and provides elasticity to connective tissue. Risk Factors A risk factor is something that increases your chances of getting a disease or condition. Risk factors for EDS include: Family members with EDS Race: Black Symptoms The severity of EDS symptoms varies from mild to very severe and debilitating. Symptoms depend on the specific type of EDS. The most common symptoms of EDS include: Loose, unstable joints that are very prone to:

The OnLine Journal of Dentistry and Oral Medicine EHLERS-DANLOS SYNDROME Ana Paula Vidal Vanessa Ruzanowsky Grillo Introduction The Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome represents a group of hereditary changes of the connective tissue, which may be clinically differentiated by inheritance, the ultra structural histology and the biochemical findings. Presently at least 8 forms of the disease are known (from SED I to VIII) with SED I, SED II, SED III being the most common. These are inherited as autosomal dominant disease, but the biochemical bases are unknown, although in each one of them the collagen is abnormal. Clinical Characteristics The clinical characteristics of this disease are: skin hyperelasticity, joint disorders, skin and blood vessel fragility, resulting in contusions, as well as abnormal scars of the cutaneous wounds. The clinical manifestations however may present considerable variation, depending on the patient’s particular syndrome. In case extensibility of the skin is serious, the patient becomes known as the circus “rubber man”. The facies is often typical, like hypertelorism, large nose and lateral folds (wrinkles), being common characteristics. The protrusion of the ears and frontal bossae are frequent. Mobile subcutaneous nodules are often found, and seem to represent fibrosed fat lobules. Scar marks of skin wounds are not common in these patients because the scars spread with time instead of contracting.

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. Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a heterogeneous group of heritable connective tissue disorders, characterized by articular(joint) hypermobility, skin extensibility and tissue fragility.There are six major types of EDS. The different types of EDS are classified according to their manifestations of signs and symptoms.Each type of EDS is a distinct disorder that "runs true"in a family. This means that an individual with Vascular Type EDS will not have a child with Classical Type ED

Ways To Help Adam Article Manager Back Back to main Health Information page Disease - Ehlers-Danlos syndrome Definition: Ehlers-Danos syndrome is a group of inherited disorders characterized by excessive looseness (laxity) of the joints, hyperelastic skin that is fragile and bruises easily, and/or easily damaged blood vessels. The syndrome sometimes involves rupture of internal organs. Causes And Risk: 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. Prevention: Genetic counseling is recommended for prospective parents with a family history of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Affected parents should be aware of the type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome they have and its mode of inheritance . This may be determined through testing and evaluation suggested by your health care provider or genetic counselor. Symptoms: Joint dislocation or subluxation Joint pain Increased joint mobility, joints popping, early arthritis

Some cases may not be diagnosed because of the variability in symptoms. UCSF researchers have discovered that a deficiency in the gene producing the protein tenascin-X, or TNX, is a cause of EDS. It appears that this protein has unique functions in the development and strength of connective tissue. The UCSF study results were reported Saturday, May 3, at the
