Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of inherited connective tissue disorders characterized by hyperextensible skin, joint hypermobility and soft tissue fragility. For molecular diagnosis, targeted exome sequencing was performed on a 9-year-old male patient who was clinically suspected to have EDS. The patient presented with progressive kyphoscoliosis, joint hypermobility and hyperextensible skin without scars. Ultimately, classical EDS was diagnosed by identifying a novel, mono-allelic mutation in COL5A2 [NM_000393.3(COL5A2_v001):c.682G>A, p.Gly228Arg].
埃勒斯-当洛综合征(EDS)是一组遗传性结缔组织疾病,其特征为皮肤过度伸展、关节活动过度和软组织脆弱。为进行分子诊断,对一名临床上疑似患有EDS的9岁男性患者进行了靶向外显子组测序。该患者表现为进行性脊柱后凸侧弯、关节活动过度和皮肤过度伸展且无瘢痕。最终,通过在COL5A2基因[NM_000393.3(COL5A2_v001):c.682G>A, p.Gly228Arg]中鉴定出一种新的单等位基因突变,确诊为经典型EDS。
