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.

Ehler Danlos Syndrome
Definition Ehler Danlos syndrome is one of the inheritable connective tissues disorders along with: Marfan syndrome, pseudoxantoma elasticum, osteogenese imperfecta, chondrodysplasias, epidermolysis bullosa and Alport syndrome. It comprises a group of ten different subtypes. The main clinical manifestations are skin fragility, abnormal scar formation, excessive bruising, joint laxity and sometimes rupture of viscera and arteries. Etiology The basic defect is in the synthesis of collagen type I and III, leading to low tensile strength of skin and artery wall. Clinical manifestations Type III, the so called familial hypermobility disease account for the majority of cases observed. Clinical manifestations varies among the ten groups. Type I (Gravis), type II (mitis), type V (X-linked) and type X have similar clinical manifestations, except for the greater gravity of these in type I. They present with marked joint laxity, hyperextensible skin, easy bruising and "cigarette paper scars" in areas of trauma. Major complication are joint dislocation, skin fragility and osteoarthritis of early onset.

Manifestations, Causes, Diagnosis, Treatment, Prognosis Explanation Manifestations Causes Diagnosis ... Prognosis What is Marfan syndrome?
The Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the body's connective tissues, or the tissues in between the main cells of each organ of the body. All organs contain connective tissue and, hence, the manifestations of Marfan syndrome appear in many parts of the body, especially the skeletal system, the eyes, the heart and blood vessels and the lungs. The term "syndrome" refers to the collection of physical findings that occur together often enough to provide a recognizable pattern that allows the diagnosis to be made. It was first described in a six year old girl by the French pediatrician, Antoine Marfan, in 1896. Manifestations of Marfan syndrome
The heart is affected in nearly 80 percent of patients with this syndrome. The most important finding is enlargement or dilation of the aorta, the main blood vessel that carries blood to the body. This abnormality in connective tissue of the first few inches of the aorta allows the aorta to stretch sufficiently to cause tearing or rupture.

*For Medical Professionals only, registration required Ehlers – danlos syndrome, (Edward Ehlers, 1863–1937, Danish dermatologist and Henri Alexandre Danlos, 1844–1912, French dermatologist), the general name for a group of 11 syndromes involving abnormalities of connective tissue characterized by hyperelasticity and fragility of the skin, hyperlaxity of the joints and a bleeding diathesis . Other systems that may be involved are the eye and the gastrointestinal, bronchopulmonary, genitourinary and cardiovascular systems. These syndromes vary genetically and biochemically but share the same complex of clinical abnormalities. Type IV is the most serious form of the disease and carries a decreased life expectancy. The primary disorder is a defect in collagen synthesis. No primary bone abnormality has been identified. Molluscoid fibrous tumours composed of proliferating connective tissue and degenerated fat are found predominantly on the pressure points of the body. Patients also exhibit subcutaneous spherules of necrotic fat in the skin that may be related to subclinical trauma. The bleeding diathesis may result from abnormalities in the vessel walls and defects in the supporting perivascular tissues that cause failure of tamponade. Subcutaneous haematomas are also seen.

96. The Ehlers Danlos Syndrome
Once thought to be a rare condition of the connective tissue the EhlersDanlos syndrome is now believed to affect 1 in every 5000 people.
http://ok.essortment.com/ehlersdanlossy_rgkq.htm
The Ehlers Danlos syndrome
The Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a group of genetic conditions that have resulted from defects in a collagen molecule which would normally give strength and adhesion to the body's tissues. In many cases the disorder affects the skin and it can become excessively extendible (stretchy), fragile and bruise easily. The joints are often affected with or without skin problems. The ligaments and tendons become extremely lax and this can often result in dislocations and the onset of early degenerative osteoarthritis. Also, the walls of the blood vessels, intestines, uterus and also the foetal membranes may be markedly fragile which can often have severe repercussions. The healing of both accidental and surgical wounds is frequently very poor leaving dramatic scarring. Other problems often include prolapse of the heart's mitral valve, aneurysms, hernias, and a range of orthopaedic and dental problems. The manner in which it affects patients in degree of severity is extremely unpredictable. Although Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome was once considered to be a fairly rare condition now it is believed to affect 1 in 5,000 people. It affects both men and women with no predisposition to race or ethnicity. bodyOffer(28912) The condition was named after the two doctors who first grouped the symptoms. Edvard Ehlers was a Danish physician specializing in dermatology and Henri-Alexandre Danlos was a doctor at the Hospital Tenon, Paris, France. Although it wasn't until 1936 that Frederich Parkes-Weber proposed that the name "Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome" be applied to the disorder the condition was well known before then. A Spanish sailor known as George Albes was infamous for being able to stretch the skin on his chest out to arm's length. He was even asked to attend a meeting of physicians at the Academy of Leyden to demonstrate his unusual ability.

What is EDS?
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of hereditary disorders that affects mainly the skin and joints, but other organs as well. Ehlers and Danlos were two physicians who described a type of EDS in the 1900s. Thus, the syndrome was named after them. Since their original descriptions, additional types have been described. The " classic " type identified by Ehlers and Danlos is now called EDS I. EDS is a relatively rare disorder; occurring in fewer than 1 in 20,000 people. It occurs in both children and adults. It is believed that people with EDS have a defect in their connective tissue. Connective tissue provides support to many parts of the body such as the skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments. The cause of fragile skin and unstable joints in some types of EDS is faulty collagen, the protein "glue" that makes connective tissue strong and elastic.
