Pulse label and chase experiments in the presence or absence of brefeldin A indicated that most of the type III procollagen molecules synthesized by the patient's fibroblasts were not secreted into the medium but were degraded in the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi compartment by a nonlysosomal mechanism. There are at least 12 other types of EDS, some of which are associated with life-threatening complications (such as arterial or organ rupture). Using a cDNA-genomic DNA hybrid probe in S1 nuclease analysis, fragments consistent with mRNA species containing and lacking exon 27 were detected in a 1:1 ratio. Sequence analysis of cDNA clones and genomic fragments generated by polymerase chain reaction amplification revealed that sequences encoded by exon 27 were absent from 3 out of 5 cDNA clones and that a G at the +5 position of the splice donor site in intron 27 was changed to an A in one allele of the patient's type III procollagen gene. The vascular type is considered one of the more serious forms of EhlersDanlos syndrome because blood vessels and organs are fragile and prone. S1 nuclease analysis of the type III procollagen mRNA indicated a defect in the region encoding exon 27. We report on a patient with a moderate case of EDS IV who produced decreased amounts of type III procollagen despite normal levels of translatable type III procollagen mRNA. Mutations in the gene for type III procollagen have been identified in patients exhibiting decreased secretion or thermal stability of the protein, but no defect has been elucidated to explain the decreased production of type III procollagen in some patients with EDS IV.
Find this Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome mnemonic and more mnemonics for Collagen Related Disorders among Pixorize's visual mnemonics for the USMLE Step 1 and NBME Shelf Exams.Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV (EDS IV) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by fragile skin, blood vessels, and internal organs and associated with decreased production, secretion, or thermal stability of type III procollagen. All the above subtypes of EDS are associated with mitral valve prolapse. Lastly, the Vascular type of Ehlers-Danlos results from defects in Type III collagen, and can present with complications such as aortic dissection, berry aneurysms, and rupture of organs, especially uterine rupture in pregnancy. The classical type results from defects in Type V collagen.
EHLERS DANLOS SYNDROME TYPE 3 SKIN
The Classical type of Ehlers-Danlos presents with both joint hypermobility and skin hyperextensibility.
There are 3 major types of EDS that are well-studied, and therefore high-yield for exams: The Hypermobility type of Ehlers-Danlos presents with joint instability only. Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, or EDS, is a group of 13 heritable (i.e., genetic) disorders that affect the body’s connective tissues.These tissuesfound mostly in the skin, joints, and blood vessel wallsact like a glue to help provide strength and elasticity to the body’s structures, including the digestive system and essential organs. While there are many causes, important causes include defects in tropocollagen cleavage or in cross-linking during collagen synthesis. I worked hard last night to get some of the symptoms compiled, and here is my list: Assorted symptoms of connective tissue disorders (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Marfan Syndrome, Chiari Malformation, Dysautonomia, and Related) Migraine headaches.
Ehler-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) describes a group of inherited disorders caused by defects in collagen.
