    Extractions: Resources and Suggestions What Is It? Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (A-lerz-DAN-los SIN-drome) describes a group of hereditary disorders which mainly affect the skin and joints, but may affect other organs. EDS affects the connective tissues the tissues that support various parts of the body such as skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments. In EDS, the fibrous protein collagen is faulty, causing the connective tissue to not be elastic or strong. What Are the Symptoms? There are 9 types of EDS and symptoms differ depending on the type of EDS. Type I and III have the following: Skin problems, include fragile skin that bruises or tears; soft skin, and slow-healing wounds. Joint problems, including loose, unstable joints; "double-jointed" or overextension of the joints; arthritis-like problems.

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. 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.

    Extractions: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a clinically, genetically and biochemically heterogeneous group of inherited connective tissue disorders. The disorder was first described as early as 1682, but it was not until the early 1900s that the characteristic features of the syndrome were described by Ehlers and Danlos. Ten types of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome have been described on the basis of clinical, genetic and/or biochemical differences. It is now considered a heterogeneous group of disorders, the most lethal of which is type IV, which is also called the "arterial-ecchymotic" type. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is characterized by hyper-elasticity and fragility of the skin, hyperflexibility and looseness of the joints and a bleeding diathesis. The eyes, gastrointestinal tract, bronchopulmonary tree, and cardio-vascular system may also be affected by this defect in mesenchyme. The incidence of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is not known, but it is not rare. It is believed to be the most prevalent of the heritable disorders of connective tissue. It is most frequently seen in Caucasians of European origin and has a male predominance. Most subjects have an autosomal dominant inheritance, and recessive inheritance is rare.

    WHAT IS ehlersdanlos syndrome? Causes Most forms of ehlers-danlos syndrome (EDS)are transmitted as an autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive trait.

    Extractions: WHAT IS EHLERS-DANLOS SYNDROME? Symptoms Causes Affected Populations Related Disorders ... References Each subtype of EDS is a distinct hereditary disorder that may affect individuals within certain families (kindreds). In other words, parents with one subtype of EDS will not have children with another EDS subtype. Depending upon the specific subtype present, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is usually transmitted as an autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive trait. Symptoms In many individuals with EDS, associated symptoms and findings may become apparent during childhood. More rarely, depending upon the specific disorder subtype present, certain abnormalities may be apparent beginning at birth (congenital). In addition, in other individuals, such as those with mild disease manifestations, the disorder may not be recognized until adulthood. The different forms of EDS were formally classified in the 1980s using a Roman numeral system. This categorization identified at least 10 major forms of the disorder based upon genetic and biochemical abnormalities as well as associated symptoms and findings. However, a simplified, revised, updated classification system has since been published in the medical literature that classifies EDS into six primary subtypes as well as some other forms of EDS, based upon the specific underlying biochemical cause, mode of inheritance, major and minor symptoms, and physical findings. The revised classification system serves to further differentiate between the various forms of the disorder as well as some related disorders.

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 and/or stretchy skin, bruising, poor wound healing and loose joints which are prone to dislocation and subluxation. 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. The different types of the syndrome are not graded in order of severity of the condition but each is a distinct type. Severe forms of the condition may be life threatening.

    Extractions: Information on Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome 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 EDS. Individuals with EDS have a defect in their connective tissue, the tissue which provides support to many body parts such as the skin, muscles and ligaments. 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. Symptoms Clinical manifestations of EDS are most often skin and joint related and may include: Skin: soft velvety skin; variable skin hyperextensibility; fragile skin that tears or bruises easily (bruising may be severe); severe scarring; slow and poor wound healing; development of molluscoid pseudotumors (fleshy lesions associated with scars over pressure areas).

    Extractions: W elcome to my site on health, logic and hereditary connective tissue disorders. I started the research for this web site after I was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a genetic disorder with no known cure. In researching Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and related disorders, I found that much of the hereditary connective tissue disorder research is based on the premise that the various disorders are each caused by single genes unrelated to each other and unrelated to environmental factors. After spending a lot of time researching Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, related disorders, and the field of genetics in general, I disagree with this premise. I found lots of links between EDS and environmental factors, especially nutrition. I used much of this research to improve my own condition and that of my children, and I think there is every reason to think that environmental factors may be considerations for others with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and similar connective tissue disorders.

I was helpful to finally get diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome because it provided a rational link for all of my diverse symptoms, but the diagnosis itself didn't help me to improve my health since EDS is considered by most doctors to be an inherited genetic disorder with no known cure. Bit by bit, I've been assembling pieces of information about my health problems, researching nutrition and lately everything has been starting to all fit together and make sense.

    Extractions: Hi, my name is Kathy Seslar of Tomahawk, Wisconsin, and I have EDS Vascular Type (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome). I am 43 years old, a wife and mother of two. In the spring of 1998 I realized a life long goal, I received my college degree in elementary education. In the 13 years prior to receiving my degree I was employed and I also did my practice teaching in the Tomahawk (WI) School District. Presently I am teaching special education in the Tomahawk District. I believe God hand picked this job for me because who better to teach children with special needs than a person with special needs herself.
