NIH Rare Diseases: Cutis laxa is a connective tissue disorder characterized by skin that is sagging and not stretchy. The skin often hangs in loose folds, causing the face and other parts of the body to have a droopy appearance. Cutis laxa can also affect connective tissue in other parts of the body, including the heart, blood vessels, joints, intestines, and lungs. Depending on which organs and tissues are affected, the signs and symptoms can range from mild to life-threatening. There are several different forms of cutis laxa, which are distinguished by their pattern of inheritance: autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked. In general, the autosomal recessive forms tend to be more severe than the autosomal dominant form. The X-linked form of cutis laxa is often called occipital horn syndrome.

MalaCards: Cutis Laxa, also known as generalized elastolysis, is related to fbln5-related cutis laxa and cutis laxa with severe pulmonary, gastrointestinal, and urinary abnormalities. An important gene associated with Cutis Laxa is FBLN5 (fibulin 5), and among its related pathways are and Cell adhesion Cell-matrix glycoconjugates. The compounds pge2 and glycosaminoglycan have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include heart, lung and skin, and related mouse phenotypes are integument and respiratory system. Genetics Home Reference: Cutis laxa is a disorder of connective tissue, which is the tissue that forms the body's supportive framework. Connective tissue provides structure and strength to the muscles, joints, organs, and skin.17 Wikipedia: Cutis laxa (also known as Chalazoderma, Dermatolysis, Dermatomegaly, Generalized elastolysis,...44 more... |
