Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a group of genetic connective tissue disorders characterized by skin hyperextensibility, joint hypermobility, and tissue fragility. Among the various types of EDS, Type 4, also known as the vascular type, is one of the most severe and life-threatening forms. This type is primarily caused by mutations in the COL5A1 gene. Understanding […]
Dyskeratosis Congenita (DC) is a rare, inherited bone marrow failure syndrome characterized by the triad of reticulated skin pigmentation, nail dystrophy, and oral leukoplakia. Mutations in the DKC1 gene, located on the X chromosome, are known to cause the X-linked form of this disorder. Recognizing the symptoms of DKC1 gene dyskeratosis congenita is crucial for […]
— Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a group of inherited disorders that affect connective tissues — primarily skin, joints, and blood vessel walls. EDS is known for causing overly flexible joints and stretchy, fragile skin. Type 6 Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, also known as Kyphoscoliotic EDS, is caused by mutations in the PLOD1 gene. This specific type is […]
Dyssegmental Dysplasia, Silverman-Handmaker type, is a rare genetic disorder that significantly impacts the development of bone and cartilage. This condition is caused by mutations in the HSPG2 gene, which plays a crucial role in the structural integrity and function of the extracellular matrix. Understanding the symptoms associated with this disorder is essential for early diagnosis […]
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) represents a group of genetic disorders that affect the connective tissues in the body, which provide strength and elasticity to the skin, bones, blood vessels, and other tissues. Among the various types of EDS, Type 7A, also known as Arthrochalasia EDS (aEDS), is caused by mutations in the COL1A1 gene. This specific […]
Ectodermal dysplasias are a diverse group of genetic disorders affecting the development or function of the teeth, hair, nails, and sweat glands. Among these, the KRT85 gene ectodermal dysplasia type 4, also known as hair-nail type ectodermal dysplasia, is a rare condition that primarily affects the growth and quality of hair and nails. Understanding the […]
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) represents a group of genetic disorders that primarily affect the skin, joints, and blood vessels. Among the various types of EDS, Type 7B, caused by mutations in the COL1A2 gene, is of significant interest due to its rarity and unique clinical manifestations. DNA Labs UAE is at the forefront of providing a […]
Ectodermal dysplasia, ectrodactyly, and macular dystrophy (EEM) are rare, inherited conditions caused by mutations in the CDH3 gene. This complex syndrome is characterized by a unique combination of symptoms affecting the skin, limbs, and eyes. Recognizing the signs and understanding the genetic basis of these conditions is crucial for early diagnosis and management. DNA Labs […]
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a group of inherited disorders that affect the connective tissues, primarily the skin, joints, and blood vessel walls. Among its various types, the Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Type 7C, also known as the Dermatosparaxis type, is caused by mutations in the ADAMTS2 gene. This rare type of EDS is characterized by extremely fragile […]
Ectodermal dysplasias are a group of genetic disorders that involve defects in the development of ectodermal structures, including the skin, hair, nails, teeth, and sweat glands. One specific type, Hidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (HED), also known as Clouston Syndrome, is primarily caused by mutations in the GJB6 gene. This condition is characterized by a distinct set […]
