Preferred Label : Cutis laxa, autosomal dominant 1;
Symbol : ADCL1;
CISMeF acronym : ADCL1;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Description : Cutis laxa is a collection of disorders that are typified by loose and/or wrinkled
skin that imparts a prematurely aged appearance. Face, hands, feet, joints, and torso
may be differentially affected. The skin lacks elastic recoil, in marked contrast
to the hyperelasticity apparent in classical Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (see 130000).
These properties are nearly always attributable to loss, fragmentation, or severe
disorganization of dermal elastic fibers (summary by Davidson and Giro, 2002). Autosomal
dominant congenital cutis laxa (ADCL) is genetically heterogeneous and shows clinical
variability. The characteristic loose skin may be accompanied by gastrointestinal
diverticula, hernia, and genital prolapse. Rare manifestations are pulmonary artery
stenosis, aortic aneurysm, bronchiectasis, and emphysema (summary by Graul-Neumann
et al., 2008). Loose, inelastic skin is a clinical feature of many disorders, e.g.,
geroderma osteodysplasticum (GO; 231070) and Costello syndrome (218040). For a discussion
of genetic heterogeneity of autosomal recessive cutis laxa, see ARCL1A (219100). -
Genetic Heterogeneity of Autosomal Dominant Cutis Laxa In addition to ADCL1, the form
of autosomal dominant cutis laxa caused by mutation in the elastin gene, ADCL2 (614434)
is caused by mutation in the fibulin-5 gene (FBLN5; 604580) on chromosome 14q32.1.;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the fibulin 5 gene (FBLN5, 604580.0001); Caused by mutation in the elastin gene (ELN, 130160.0008);
