EDS classic type is caused by mutations in the genes encoding for type V collagen (COL5A1, COL5A2), tenascin X (TNX), and type I collagen (COL1A1). Type I collagen—skin, bone, tendons; Type II collagen—cartilage (joints) Type III collagen—reticular fiber (a supportive tissue in such soft organs as liver, bone marrow, lymphatic system, the gut, and many others) Type IV collagen… The dermatosparaxis type is caused by mutations in a gene for a procollagen proteinase (ADAMTS2). Since the placenta is vital to providing growing embryos with nutrients and oxygen, type V collagen is considered a crucial protein to neonatal development. Aortic dilatation and rupture can also occur. It is essential for fibrillation of types I and III collagen, and consequently for optimal fibrillary formation and tissue quality. Furthermore, in cultured dermal fibroblasts from patients, the amount of collagen incorporated into matrix is about 10% of normal levels, suggesting that the OI phenotype is the result of an abnormal ECM, as well as an overmodification of type I collagen. One of the most noticeable functions of collagen is the support it provides for your skin. Skin. This modification is performed by an ER-resident complex with three components: cartilage-associated protein (CRTAP), prolyl 3-hydroxylase 1 (P3H1), and cyclophilin B (CyPB) which assemble in a 1:1:1 ratio.10 The complex also has a collagen chaperone function.104 In addition, independent functions have been described for the forms of CRTAP and P3H1 secreted into the ECM. Several biomarkers of type V collagen formation and degradation exist, which have proven type V collagen to be of special importance in connective tissue diseases and cancer. EDS kyphoscoliotic type is characterized by kyphoscoliosis, joint laxity, with muscle hypotonia. William G. Cole, Outi Mäkitie, in Textbook of Pediatric Rheumatology (Seventh Edition), 2016. It has at least three different molecular isoforms-α1(V)2 α2(V), α1(V)3, and α1(V)α2(V)α3(V)-formed by combinations of three different polypeptide α chains-α1(V), α2(V), and α3(V). Collagens begin as rope-like procollagen molecules that are each made up of … The initially identified point mutation in the COL5A2 gene was not published as a complete description for several years (49). Although a proportion of individuals with EDS classic and EDS hypermobile type have aortic root enlargement, progression of aortic dilatation or acute dissection has not been described. FIGURE 154-2. ), Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects. Skin. In the majority of individuals with classical forms of EDS, the underlying mutations are in the type V collagen genes, COL5A1 and COL5A2 (24,32–34). These altered fibrils, which consist largely of type I collagen, generally do not reflect alterations in type I collagen genes as linkage studies excluded them in some families (38–40). Mutations in two of the genes for type V collagen (COL5A1 and COL5A2) are demonstrable in some cases of classic EDS (Malfait and de Paepe, 2005). It is found within the dermal/epidermal junction, placental tissues, as well as in association with tissues containing type I collagen. Although the cellular source of these proteins may be the overlying epithelial cells, myofibroblasts are increased in number in asthma and are likely a more important source.249 Subepithelial fibrosis is most prominent in patients with eosinophilia and airway Th2 inflammation.166,250 Increased amounts of collagen and other matrix proteins and abnormal cross-linking of these proteins will increase the stiffness of the subepithelial matrix. CRTAP is thought to function as a helper protein within the complex. Type V collagen is a form of fibrillar[1] collagen associated with classical Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. The former types I/II, III, IV, and VI are now called classic, hypermobile, vascular, and kyphosclerotic type of Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (EDS), respectively. Clinical studies show associations with airflow obstruction and decreased airway distensibility,252 but the consequences of subepithelial fibrosis for immune dysfunction in asthma are unclear. The demonstration of mutations in the COL5A1 (50a) gene began with identification of a chromosomal translocation that interrupted the gene on chromosome 9 (48).

The COL5A1 gene provides instructions for making a component of type V collagen. The myocardium contains an extensive collagen network and the heart valves are largely collagen. Eighty percent to 90 percent of the collagen in the human body consists of types I, II, and III collagen, although at least 16 different forms of the protein are known. There are several reports of mitral valve prolapse, aneurysms and dissection of the aortic root162 or cervical vessels,163 and Ebstein’s anomaly164 in OI; however, these occur much less frequently than in either EDS or Marfan’s syndrome.165,166 Only rarely are these lesions clinically important, and they do not appear related to either the severity of skeletal disease or the presence of blue sclerae. Search for mutations in the mRNA/cDNA (where most studies were done) would not identify abnormalities because of the instability of the mutation-bearing sequences. Type V collagen also functions to create the cells of a pregnant women's placenta, which is the organ that attaches to the lining of the womb. According to Dr. Eric F. Bernstein of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, collagen makes up approximately 80 percent … Arterial rupture may be preceded by aneurysm or may occur spontaneously. Gram for gram, type I collagen … The vascular type is caused by mutations in the gene for type III collagen (COL3A1). The murmur of aortic regurgitation is heard in ~ 2% of patients. Some have speculated that fibrosis represents a secondary barrier that impedes the passage of aeroallergens into the subepithelial space.253 Still others have hypothesized that the presence of subepithelial fibrosis promotes aeroallergen sensitization.133, Joan C. Marini, Wayne A. Cabral, in Genetics of Bone Biology and Skeletal Disease (Second Edition), 2018, Normal posttranslational modification of types I, II, and V collagen includes the 3-hydroxylation of a limited number of proline residues, especially the Pro986 position of both, α1(I) and α1(II) chains. It is caused by mutations of COL1A2, an autosomal recessive form of EDS. Col5a1 knockout mice do not survive embryogenesis and their tissues lack large collagen fibrils.54, Prescott G. Woodruff MD, MPH, ... John V. Fahy MD, MSc, in Murray and Nadel's Textbook of Respiratory Medicine (Sixth Edition), 2016, Increased amounts of types I, III, and V collagen, as well as fibronectin and tenascin, are deposited immediately beneath the epithelium in asthma.247,248 These structural proteins differ from typical basement membrane proteins such as collagen IV and laminin, so the subepithelial fibrosis of asthma is not a thickening of the true basement membrane but rather a deposition of a layer of interstitial collagens immediately beneath it. [2], Autoimmunity against type V collagen is associated with lung transplant failure. Aortic dilatation appears to occur within certain families: familial clustering of mitral valve prolapse has not been established.170–172 Successful surgical correction of the valvular defects has been reported.173, Peter H. Byers, in Emery and Rimoin's Principles and Practice of Medical Genetics, 2013. It has been known for many years that collagen fibrils in the dermis of individuals with classical EDS are 10–40% larger than normal (35–37), are irregular in outline, and “composite” structures are common (Figure 154-2).
