Dermatology, 1989
We have encountered 2 cases (mother and son) with an autosomal dominant form of cutis laxa, which is clinically characterized by inelastic, loose, and pendulous skin without systemic organ involvement. The histopathological findings disclosed that the elastic fibers were decreased in number and had abnormalities in shape.

Cutis laxa with delayed development
Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, 1985ABSTRACTTwo forms of cutis laxa are well delineated. One is a dominant benign disorder in which the greatest impact is on the skin, and the second is an autosomal recessive variety with serious lung involvement and early death. A third form of cutis laxa of intermediate severity, associated with mental and growth retardation, has been described.
