ehlersdanlos syndrome is a hereditary and quite rare connective tissue disorder characterized by Learn about the treatments for ehlers-danlos syndrome
http://www.caringmedical.com/conditions/Ehlers-Danlos_Syndrome.htm

Extractions: Variations of this syndrome usually result from abnormalities in the different genes that create connective tissue. Many children experience this flexibility in the joints but without other symptoms. Over time the flexibility decreases. Arthritis may eventually develop, and the joints may degenerate beyond repair. What are the symptoms of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome? With this syndrome, the skin and joints are extremely flexible; the skin can be stretched to unusual levels. Wide scars often develop on the elbows, knees and shins. Small, round, hard lumps may also appear under the skin. While in general there is a tendency to bleed easily, a small wound may turn into a large gaping wound that might not bleed much at all. Surgeries may be risky due to very sensitive inner organs as well as an inclination to sprains and dislocations. One fourth of all children afflicted with this disease may develop a hunchback and kyphoscoliosis, an abnormal curve of the spine, and many develop flat feet. Hernias are also common. Pregnant women may deliver prematurely due to the extreme flexibility of body tissues. In addition, the membranes containing the fetus may rupture early if the fetus has the syndrome.

PubMed Citation The first comprehensive description of a syndrome comprising laxity and fragility of the skin associated with hypermobility of the large joints was published in 1892 by Tschernogobow in Moscow. With remarkable insight, he interpreted the cause of the phenotype as a systemic defect in connective tissue. However, as is common in medicine, those who came later are immortalized in the eponym, in this case Ehlers and Danlos, Danish and French dermatologists, respectively, who published their observations independently in the first decade of the 20th century. The familial nature of these clinical associations was demonstrated in 1949, Full Text of this Article References

ehlersdanlos syndrome (EDS) is a heterogeneous group of heritable connective TYPES OF ehlers-danlos syndrome. TYPE I - GRAVIS - Autosomal Dominant
http://www.skinatlas.com/eds.htm

Extractions: click to view the pictures TYPE I - GRAVIS - Autosomal Dominant Prominent skin hyperextensibility, fragility and easy bruisability; 'cigarette paper' scars; molluscoid psuedotumours (swellings in the skin) and subcutaneous spheroids (soft accumulations of tissue under the skin which cause soft non-malignant lumps); large and small joint hypermobility; frequent varicose veins. Premature birth due to early rupture of membranes is common. TYPE II - MITIS - Autosomal Dominant Skin is soft with easy bruisability but less hyperextensible and with less tendency to split and scar than Gravis type. Joint hypermobility is less marked. Varicose veins and hernia may occur. TYPE III - BENIGN HYPERMOBILITY - Autosomal Dominant Skin is soft but hyperextensibility, splitting and scarring are limited. Joint hypermobility is generalised, affecting large and small joints; dislocation is common. Bruising tendency variable. Some patients in this category have defects similar to those causing EDS IV and this group is also distinguished from the original Type Xi (benign familial articular hypermobility) which may lack the characteristic abnormality in collagen. TYPE IV - ECCHYMOTIC OR ARTERIAL - Autosomal Dominant/Recessive Skin is characteristically thin (translucent) with veins easily seen over trunk, arms, legs and abdomen. Skin is not usually hyperextensible. Minor trauma leads to extensive bruising (ecchymosis). Joint mobility is usually normal aside from the small joints in the hands. Cardiovascular and gastrointestinal damage can occur (e.g. arterial rupture and intestinal perforation). Uterine rupture in pregnancy may occur, thus pregnancy should be approached with caution.

Extractions: 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 suspected, may cause the severe phenotype or rather a milder variant.

Extractions: PDF Version Search Send-to-Friend Health Library Home ... Conditions InBrief by Rick Alan Definition Causes Risk Factors ... Organizations 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. 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. A risk factor is something that increases your chances of getting a disease or condition. Risk factors for EDS include: 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:

Sponsored by: National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) Information provided by: National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: Purpose This study will assess the effectiveness of mind-body therapy in relieving pain in patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. This syndrome is a hereditary condition caused by a connective tissue defect and is often associated with chronic pain poorly controlled by medication or physical therapy. Mind-body therapy comprises various complementary or alternative medicine techniques such as meditation, guided imagery, stress management, and group psychotherapy. Adult patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome who have chronic pain may be eligible for this 4 1/2 [Note: if the symbol is unreadable, it is four and one-half] to 5-month study. Patients not already enrolled in NHGRI's protocol 97-HG-0089 will undergo a history, physical examination, and brief interview before being accepted. Participants will attend 2-hour group sessions of mind-body therapy at NIH each week for at least 10 weeks. They will receive training in meditation, yoga breathing, guided imagery, and stress management in these sessions and will be asked to also practice the treatments at home each day. Patients may continue their regular medications and pain treatment with their private physicians during the course of the study.
