Extractions: 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.

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.

Home Friendship and Support for All WHAT IS EHLERS-DANLOS SYNDROME Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Edited by Frederick A. Matsen, III, M.D. and Gregory C. Gardner, M.D. Last updated August 31, 2001 About Ehlers-Danlos syndrome 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. 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 This section gives a brief description of how EDS is inherited.

Extractions: I have a family with a 4-year-old boy with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, progeroid form (OMIM 130070). The gene map locus for this disease is located at 5q35.1-q35.3. Okajima et al of Nagoya University School of Medicine, Japan, searched for mutations in the patient originally published by Kresse et al in 1987 and they managed to shed some light on the molecular basis for this rare genetic entity (see recently paper published in J. Biol. Chem 1999, Oct 8, 274 (41): 28841-4.
Official Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Awareness Symbol The Official EDS Awareness Symbol The Frayed Knot Pin for the EhlersDanlos Syndrome Awareness Campaign Is Feb. Order Now! http://community-2.webtv.net/RLPrimeau/OfficialEhlers/
Extractions: An Awareness Symbol of our own. Frayed Knot Pin The Official Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Awareness Symbol. Created and Designed by Rabecca Primeau and Son Frank Primeau. The EDS Awareness Campaign is the first annual event to promote Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) Education on a worldwide scale. The campaign will take place during the month of February 2003 is the 2nd Annual Awareness Campaign. Thanks to the EDS community taking a vote on what the Official EDS Symbol should be for the Awareness Campaign. On Monday, Nov 5, 2001 the votes came in and the Official Symbol of the EDS Awareness Campaign was selected. The Winner was the "Frayed Knot" pin, suggested by Rabecca Primeau. 2nd place was the movable silver body pin, suggested by Lilian. Barbara Uggen-Davis from EDS Today says, "Thank you to everyone who made suggestions and/or voted." To view event details as they developed and for more information on the campaign, please visit

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 reported, may cause the severe phenotype or rather a milder variant.
