Gene context of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

  • Mutations in the COL3A1 gene that encodes the chains of type III procollagen result in the vascular form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), EDS type IV, if they alter the sequence in the triple-helical domain [21].
  • Order of intron removal influences multiple splice outcomes, including a two-exon skip, in a COL5A1 acceptor-site mutation that results in abnormal pro-alpha1(V) N-propeptides and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type I [22].
  • This implies that approximately 1 in every 10 steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency patients is a carrier of tenascin-X deficiency, which is associated with a recessive form of the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome [23].
  • Mutations in ADAMTS2, a procollagen amino-propeptidase, cause severe skin fragility, designated as dermatosparaxis in animals, and a subtype of the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (dermatosparactic type or VIIC) in humans [24].
  • A single base mutation in COL5A2 causes Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type II [25].
