Preferred Label : Autosomal dominant cutis laxa;
ICD-11 definition : Autosomal dominant cutis laxa results from mutations in the elastin gene ELN which
result in the development of folds of loose, inelastic, redundant skin that typically
become more prominent with age. In about a third of cases the condition results from
a new mutation. It may first be recognized at any time from birth to early adulthood.
Characteristic facial features include an aged appearance, long philtrum, high forehead,
large earlobes, and beaked nose. Systemic manifestations include aortic aneurysm,
severe congenital lung disease and pulmonary artery disease, though many patients
live normal life spans. There is marked intrafamilial variability of skin and other
systemic manifestations.;
