Ehlers-Danlos syndrome kyphoscoliosis type

Definition:

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome kyphoscoliosis type (EDSKSCL) is an autosomal recessive connective tissue disorder characterized by severe muscular hypotonia and kyphoscoliosis at birth, joint hypermobility, and skin fragility. It is caused by a deficiency of collagen lysyl hydroxylase due to mutations in PLOD1. Recently, it has been reported that mutations in FKBP14 cause an Ehlers-Danlos syndrome with progressive kyphoscoliosis, myopathy, and hearing loss (EDSKMH).
