What type of collagen is deficient in Classical Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

Members don't see this ad.

So I'm reading First Aid and it says that Type V collagen is deficient in Classic Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. But in the page on Collagen there are only 4 types of collagen listed? So what type of collagen is deficient in Classic Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome?

lol. you really need to study. Assuming you're MS-1?

FA is the very least of what you need to know. This should put it in perspective. We've had the various genes associated come up on tests as well.

3…the way i think of it is put the E in ehler to make 3…3HLER DANLOS SYNDROME

 

[iki4life]

type ONE= bONE

type TWO= carTWOlidge

type THREE= reTHREEculin, (3hler danlos)

type FOUR= FLOOR aka basement membrane


type 1, 2 and 4 are in FA…type 3 i made up

Another way to remember collagen deficiencies is via "SCAB":

Type 1 - Skin
Type 2 - Connective Tissue
Type 3 - Arteries
Type 4 - Basement membrane

You can logic it out that's it type 3, because they have problems with arterial rupture and possible rupture of their ascending aorta.

If I was just looking at the classifications by type and didn't know the deficiency, I would guess it would be type 1, since the classical sign is stretchy skin, but alas, I'd be wrong.

Also some what related with collagen deficiency disorders, they can ask a tricky type of question like a problem with the aqueous humor. That would be considered a type 2 "connective tissue" problem.
