Musculocontractural type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (MC-EDS) is a recently recognised connective tissue disorder. MC-EDS is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the carbohydrate sulfotransferase 14 () gene on chromosome 15q15. Herein, we report a case of a 3-year-old boy with MC-EDS in whom a novel mutation in the gene was discovered. Besides being the second report of this rare disorder from India, the child till 3 years has not had any bleeding tendency as described in the earlier reports of this disorder.
埃勒斯-当洛综合征肌肉挛缩型(MC-EDS)是一种最近才被认识的结缔组织疾病。MC-EDS由15号染色体q15区域的碳水化合物硫酸转移酶14()基因纯合或复合杂合突变引起。在此,我们报告一例3岁患MC-EDS的男孩,该病例中发现了该基因的一种新突变。这不仅是来自印度的关于这种罕见疾病的第二篇报道,而且该患儿直至3岁都没有出现之前报道中所述的任何出血倾向。
