Connective Tissue Report
Connective Tissue
Connective tissue disorders are a large group of diseases, both clinically and genetically heterogeneous. The underlying mutations concern elements of the extracellular matrix, such as elastin, collagen and muco-polysaccharides. Since connective tissue is ubiquitous in the body, its alterations cause consequences in numerous areas such as skin, joints, bones, blood vessels and lungs. The function of these proteins, in fact, consists in conferring resistance and elasticity, as well as mechanical support to anatomical structures.
