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.

Associated persons: A. P. Barabas Nikolai Alexandrovich Chernogubow Henri-Alexandre Danlos Edvard Lauritz Ehlers ... Georg Sack Description: An inherited disorder of the elastic connective tissue characterised by hyperelasticity of the skin, hypermobility of the joints due to extremely lax ligaments and tendons, and poor wound healing. The skin bruises easily. There are subcutaneous tumours, visceral malformations atrophic scars, and calcified subcutaneous cysts. Mitral valve prolapse is usual and congenital cardiac defects, e.g. atrial septal defect, are common. Described primarily in people of European ancestry. Both sexes affected (some authors report male prevalence); recognized from birth. Exists in 7 forms. Prematurity due to early rupture of fetal membranes is common. Inheritance corresponds to various pathochemical mechanisms in the disturbed collagen synthesis. The disorder is very heterogenous, most forms have an autosomal dominant inheritance but some are autosomal recessive or X-linked. It is believed to affect 1 in 5,000 people.

Gardner, M.D. Last updated August 31, 2001 About Ehlers-Danlos syndrome What is it? Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of hereditary disorders that affects mainly the skin and joints, but other organs as well. EDS results in weakness and/or excessive flexibility of the connective tissues of the body. People with EDS are born without the ability to make certain components of the normal connective tissue of the body. Incidence and risk factors EDS is a relatively rare disorder, occurring in fewer than 1 in 20,000 people. The various forms of EDS are characterized by abnormalities in the chemical structure of the body's connective tissues (for example, skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments). As a result, skin may become fragile and joints unstable. Causes Genetics This section gives a brief description of how EDS is inherited.

Email What is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome INTRODUCTION Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a heterogeneous group of heritable disorders of connective tissue, characterised by skin extensibility, joint hypermobility and tissue fragility. There are different types of EDS and these were reclassified in 1997 into six major types, they are classified according to their symptoms and signs with each type running true in a family thus an individual with one type will not have a child with a different type. EDS is caused by a defect in the collagen (connective tissue), which is the main building block in the body. Collagen provides strength for the different parts of the body. Some types are firm to give support, others are elastic to allow movement and strength, and still others resemble glue binding protein together. Consequently, if it is defective, it can produce many problems. PREVALENCE. EDS is known to affect both males and females of all races and ethnic backgrounds.

research project MUTATION ANALYSIS IN VARIOUS TYPES OF THE EHLERS-DANLOS SYNDROME (EDS) The Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of connective tissue disorders which have in common joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility and fragility. Variable expression of these features, different modes of inheritance and the presence of distinctive associated manifestations distinguish the 10 types of the syndrome. Mutations in the genes encoding collagen V (COL5A1 and COL5A2) have been identified in several patients/families with the classical form of EDS (MIM 130000) (EDS I and II). We have recently identified the first glycine to glutamic acid substitution (G1489E) in the alpha1(V) collagen chain. Furthermore, increasing evidence indicates that haploinsufficiency of COL5A1 which is caused by mutations leading to non-sense mediated mRNA decay, is a common cause of classical EDS. We intend to determine whether mutations in COL5A1 and COL5A2 are the prevalent cause of classical EDS. The vascular type of EDS (EDS IV, MIM 130050) is caused by mutations in the COL3A1 gene, which lead to impaired secretion and/or instability of structurally abnormal collagen III molecules. The aim of our study is to correlate the clinical course of individuals affected with EDS IV with their biochemical data and genotype. Furthermore, we would like to investigate whether haploinsufficiency of COL3A1, which has only recently been reported, may cause the severe phenotype or rather a milder variant.

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. MeSH Key Words: case report; dental care for chronically ill; Ehlers-Danlos syndrome © J Can Dent Assoc 2001; 67:330-4 This article has been peer reviewed E hlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a hereditary collagen disease presenting primarily as dermatological and joint disorders. 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.
