Heritable Connective Disorders

More than 200 connective tissue disorders that are cause by gene mutations (heritable) exist today, and most of them are rare.  Genes responsible for tissue building become altered and can affect the structure, development, and function of the skin, bones, joints, the heart, blood vessels, lungs, eyes and ears.  Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, for example, is a group of 10 disorders that effect changes in the structure of the skin, joints, blood vessels, ligaments and tendons.  Epidermolysis bullosa involves blistering of the skin and can also strike the gastrointestinal tract, pulmonary system, muscle or bladder.  Marfan syndrome causes excessively long bones and fingers and can cause skeletal malformations, abnormal positioning of the lens of the eye, and enlargement of parts of the hearts aorta.

P.S. - Osteogenisis imperfecta causes fragile bones, low muscle mass and joint ligament slackness.
