Refer to clinical team for further discussion on wether we should include this gene on the EDS panel. There is clinical overlap between EDS and other Heritable Connective Tissue Disorders.Created: 28 Apr 2017, 11:49 a.m.
Comment on phenotypes: There is clinical overlap between EDS and other Heritable Connective Tissue Disorders like Congenital contractural arachnodactyly, which is a rare, autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder characterized by contractures, arachnodactyly, scoliosis, and crumpled ears and specifically shares overlapping features with Marfan syndrome.Created: 26 Apr 2017, 1:36 p.m.
