Gene context of Connective Tissue

  • COL1A1 is a major constituent of the connective tissue matrix [35].
  • Absence of TNX mRNA and protein in the proband, mapping of the TNX gene and HLA typing of this family suggest recessive inheritance of TNX deficiency and connective-tissue disease [25].
  • Although the precise role of TNX in the pathogenesis of EDS is uncertain, this patient's findings suggest a unique and essential role for TNX in connective-tissue structure and function [25].
  • However, targetted inactivation of the Pdgfb gene or the Pdgf receptor beta (Pdgfrb) gene, by homologous recombination, does not prevent the development of apparently normal large arteries and connective tissue [36].
  • Human platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a connective tissue cell mitogen comprised of two related chains encoded by distinct genes [37].
