Additional Information:

Description: (OMIM) Autosomal recessive cutis laxa type IB (ARCL1B) is characterized by the presence of severe systemic connective tissue abnormalities, including emphysema, cardiopulmonary insufficiency, birth fractures, arachnodactyly, and fragility of blood vessels. All symptoms refer to disturbed elastic fiber formation ...
Clinical Description OMIM Ades et al. (1996) reported 4 unrelated children, 3 boys and 1 girl, with congenital abnormalities of the great vessels, comprising either single or multiple arterial aneurysms, aortic and/or arterial dilation, and/or vessel tortuosity. The authors noted that ...
Molecular genetics OMIM Hucthagowder et al. (2006) described a child with cutis laxa caused by homozygosity for a missense mutation (604633.0001) in the EFEMP2 gene (FBLN4).

Dasouki et al. (2007) identified compound heterozygosity for a missense mutation and a ...

Clinical Description GeneReviews EFEMP2-related cutis laxa (autosomal recessive cutis laxa type 1A, ARCL1A) is a highly variable disorder ranging from perinatal lethality caused by cardiopulmonary failure [Hoyer et al 2009] to manifestations limited to the vascular and craniofacial systems [Renard et al 2010]. The most common shared features besides cutis laxa include arterial tortuosity, aneurysms and stenosis; retrognathia; joint laxity; and arachnodactyly. All features present in at least two affected individuals are shown in Table 2....
Differential Diagnosis GeneReviews Other disorders characterized by cutis laxa are summarized in Table 3....
Management GeneReviews To establish the extent of disease in an individual diagnosed with EFEMP2 -related cutis laxa, the following evaluations are recommended:...
