Abnormal cutaneous elastic fiber morphology

MedGen UID:
1369253
Concept ID:
C4476582
Anatomical Abnormality
Synonym: Abnormal cutaneous elastic fibre morphology
 
HPO: HP:0025082

Definition

Any structural anomaly of the elastic fibers of the skin. Elastic fibers are the essential extracellular matrix macromolecules comprising an elastin core surrounded by a mantle of fibrillin-rich microfibrils. [from HPO]

Conditions with this feature

Cutis laxa, autosomal recessive, type 1A
MedGen UID:
78663
Concept ID:
C0268351
Disease or Syndrome
FBLN5-related cutis laxa is characterized by cutis laxa, early childhood-onset pulmonary emphysema, peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis, and other evidence of a generalized connective disorder such as inguinal hernias and hollow viscus diverticula (e.g., intestine, bladder). Occasionally, supravalvar aortic stenosis is observed. Intrafamilial variability in age of onset is observed. Cardiorespiratory failure from complications of pulmonary emphysema (respiratory or cardiac insufficiency) is the most common cause of death.
