Introduction

Nigel P. Burrows, Franziska Ringpfeil and Jouni Uittoโ€  Heritable Disorders of Connective Tissue

Key features

ย„Heritable connective tissue disorders with skin involvement comprise a phenotypically diverse group of conditions

ย„Recognition of characteristic skin findings is often critical to estab- lishing the diagnosis and identifying associated internal involvement, which may include life-threatening cardiovascular disease as in vascular Ehlersโ€“Danlos syndrome and pseudoxanthoma elasticum

ย„Heritable connective tissue disorders can result from mutations in genes encoding structural extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins (e.g. collagens, components of elastic fibers), enzymes that modify these structural proteins, and other proteins with effects on the ECM (e.g. via transport or regulatory functions)
