The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a heterogeneous group of heritable connective tissue diseases. The autosomal recessive kyphoscoliotic EDS results from deficiency of either lysyl hydroxylase 1 (encoded by PLOD1), crucial for collagen cross-linking; or the peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase family FK506-binding protein 22 kDa (FKBP22 encoded by ...

The kyphoscoliotic type of the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS VIA) is a rare recessively inherited connective tissue disorder characterized by bruisable, hyperextensible skin, generalized joint laxity, severe muscular hypotonia at birth and progressive congenital scoliosis or kyphosis. Deficiency of the enzyme lysyl hydroxylase 1 (LH1) due to mutations in

FKBP14 kyphoscoliotic Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome in adolescent patient: the first Colombian report
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of clinically and genetically heterogeneous inherited connective tissue disorders, characterized by skin hyperextensibility, poor wound healing, joint hypermobility and tissue friability. Since 1997 a new spectrum of novel rare EDS-variants has been described, among which is included the EDS kyphoscoliotic type ...
