Body
was changed:
The connective tissue diseases or disorders (CTDs), also known as collagen vascular diseases, form a large heterogeneous group of conditions that are linked by a disease process that primarily involves the connective soft tissues of the body and often the vasculature too, due to shared structural proteins, such as collagen and elastin 1-4.
Classic connective tissue diseases
- systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
- systemic sclerosis (SSc)
- Sjogren syndrome (SS)
- mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD)
- polymyositis
- dermatomyositis
Seronegative connective tissue diseases
Hereditary connective tissue diseases
- Marfan syndrome
- Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
- osteogenesis imperfecta
- Stickler syndrome
- epidermolysis bullosa
- arterial tortuosity syndrome
- Loeys-Dietz syndrome
- Lujan syndrome
- MACS syndrome
- mitral valve prolapse (MVP) syndrome
- persistent patent ductus arteriosus with familial thoracic aneurysm
- Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome (SGS)
- Snyder-Robinson syndrome
- Weill-Marchesani syndrome (WMS)
