Ehlers-Danlos syndrome musculocontractural type

Definition:

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome musculocontractural type (EDSMC) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by connective tissue fragility, craniofacial abnormalities, congenital contractures, and developmental anomalies. EDSMC is caused by mutations in CHST14, encoding dermatan 4-O-sulfotransferase-1 (D4ST1). Recently, mutations in DSE, encoding dermatan sulfate epimerase-1, have been identified in a child with EDSMC features.
