EHLER DANLOS SYNDROME WITH PREGNANCY

Abstract

Ehlers Danlos syndrome is a group of disorders, which
have common feature including easy bruising joint
hypermobility skin that stretches easily and weakness of
tissue 1. It is inherited in the genes that are passed from
parents to off spring. They are categorized according to
the form of genetic transmission into different types with
many features differing between patients in any given
type. In 2001, researches discovered a new form or
Ehlers Danlos syndrome that is caused by an inherited
abnormality in a protein other than collagen that also
normally plays a role in binding together the cells of our
tissue (including the skin, tendons, muscle and blood
vessels). Abnormalities in this protein called tenascin,
also lead to a form that tensacin could play a role in
regulating the normal distribution of collage in connective
time of the body2.
