Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, arthrochalasia type, 2

A form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder characterized by hyperextensible skin, atrophic cutaneous scars due to tissue fragility and joint hyperlaxity. EDSARTH2 is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by frequent congenital hip dislocation and extreme joint laxity with recurrent joint subluxations and minimal skin involvement.

Osteogenesis imperfecta 1

An autosomal dominant form of osteogenesis imperfecta, a disorder of bone formation characterized by bone low bone mass, bone fragility and susceptibility to fractures after minimal trauma. Disease severity ranges from very mild forms without fractures to intrauterine fractures and perinatal lethality. Extraskeletal manifestations, which affect a variable number of patients, are dentinogenesis imperfecta, hearing loss, and blue sclerae. OI1 is a non-deforming form with normal height or mild short stature, and no dentinogenesis imperfecta.

Osteogenesis imperfecta 2

An autosomal dominant form of osteogenesis imperfecta, a disorder of bone formation characterized by low bone mass, bone fragility and susceptibility to fractures after minimal trauma. Disease severity ranges from very mild forms without fractures to intrauterine fractures and perinatal lethality. Extraskeletal manifestations, which affect a variable number of patients, are dentinogenesis imperfecta, hearing loss, and blue sclerae. OI2 is characterized by bone fragility, with many perinatal fractures, severe bowing of long bones, undermineralization, and death in the perinatal period due to respiratory insufficiency.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, cardiac valvular type

A form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a group of connective tissue disorders characterized by skin hyperextensibility, articular hypermobility, and tissue fragility. EDSCV is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by mitral valve prolapse and insufficiency, mitral regurgitation, and aortic insufficiency, in addition to joint laxity, skin hyperextensibility and friability, and abnormal scar formation.

Osteogenesis imperfecta 3

An autosomal dominant form of osteogenesis imperfecta, a disorder of bone formation characterized by low bone mass, bone fragility and susceptibility to fractures after minimal trauma. Disease severity ranges from very mild forms without fractures to intrauterine fractures and perinatal lethality. Extraskeletal manifestations, which affect a variable number of patients, are dentinogenesis imperfecta, hearing loss, and blue sclerae. OI3 is characterized by progressively deforming bones, very short stature, a triangular face, severe scoliosis, grayish sclera and dentinogenesis imperfecta.

Osteogenesis imperfecta 4

An autosomal dominant form of osteogenesis imperfecta, a disorder of bone formation characterized by low bone mass, bone fragility and susceptibility to fractures after minimal trauma. Disease severity ranges from very mild forms without fractures to intrauterine fractures and perinatal lethality. Extraskeletal manifestations, which affect a variable number of patients, are dentinogenesis imperfecta, hearing loss, and blue sclerae. OI4 is characterized by moderately short stature, mild to moderate scoliosis, grayish or white sclera and dentinogenesis imperfecta.

Combined osteogenesis imperfecta and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome 2

An autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder characterized by osteopenia, bone fragility, long bone fractures, blue sclerae, joint hyperextensibility, soft and hyperextensible skin, abnormal wound healing, easy bruising, and vascular fragility.
