Description : Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the joint and dermal manifestations as in other forms of the syndrome but also by proneness to spontaneous rupture of bowel and large arteries. Beighton et al. (1998) reported on a revised nosology of the Ehlers-Danlos syndromes, designated the Villefranche classification. Major and minor diagnostic criteria were defined for each type and complemented whenever possible with laboratory findings. Six main descriptive types were substituted for earlier types numbered with Roman numerals: classic type (EDS I and II), hypermobility type (EDS III), vascular type (EDS IV), kyphoscoliosis type (EDS VI), arthrochalasia type (EDS VIIA and VIIB), and dermatosparaxis type (EDS VIIC). Six other forms were listed, including a category of 'unspecified forms.';

Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the collagen III, alpha-1 polypeptide gene (COL3A1, 120180.0001);

Laboratory abnormalities : Type III collagen defect;

Prefixed ID : #130050;
