Signs or Symptoms of Connective tissue disorders:
Each disorder has different symptoms. For instance, some
diseases, such as Marfan syndrome, osteogenesis imperfecta, and certain
chondrodysplasias (disorders of long-bone development) cause bone growth
problems. People with bone growth disorders may have brittle bones or
bones that are too long or too short. In some of these disorders, joint
looseness or joints that are too tight can cause problems.
The skin can be affected as well. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
results in stretchy or loose skin, while in the disease cutis laxa,
deficient elastic fibers cause the skin to hang in folds. Epidermolysis
bullosa results in blistered skin. Pseudoxanthoma elasticum causes skin,
eye, and heart problems, and closed-off or blocked blood vessels. Marfan
syndrome and some forms of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome lead to weak blood
vessels. Some disorders cause people to be unusually tall (Marfan
syndrome) or short (chondrodysplasias, osteogenesis imperfecta), or to
have head and facial structure malformations (Apert syndrome, Pfeiffer
syndrome).
