Ehlers-Danlos syndrome cardiac valvular type

Definition:

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome cardiac valvular type (EDSCV) is a rare autosomal recessive form of EDS. In addition to the usual skin and joint involvement, patients appear to be at increased risk for cardiac valvular dysfunction. Mutations in the COL1A2 gene that encodes type I collagen can give rise to EDSCV.
