Cutaneous asthenia (CA) or Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, in dogs, is a rare hereditary syndrome caused by autosomal dominant inheritance that causes collagen synthesis failure and leads to hyperextensibility and cutaneous fragility. This report describes a clinical case of canine CA of hereditary...

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, cutaneous asthenia or dermatosparaxis, is a rare genetic disorder that causes alterations in the synthesis of collagen fibers, resulting in hyperextensibility and dermal fragility. This paper reports the case of a nine-year-old bitch, of no defined breed. The diagnosis was...

Cutaneous asthenia is a hereditary connective tissue disease, primarily of dogs and cats, resembling Ehlers-Danlos syndrome in man. Collagen dysplasia results in skin hyperextensibility, skin and vessel fragility, and poor wound healing. The purpose of this study was to describe the histological...

The cutaneous asthenia syndrome is a rare congenital disorder caused by collagen that causes fragility and hyperextensible skin. Laxity of ligaments, hernia, ocular abnormalities may also occur. Picked up the HVU, a dog with a history of progressive abdominal volume increase and lesions on the skin ...

Cutaneous asthenia, dermatos paraxis, cutaneous fragility syndrome or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome are disorders in which alterations in the synthesis of collagen or fiber formation result in loss of elasticity and skin fragility. The etiology is still unknown; the condition is most likely associated to...

Cutaneous asthenia or dematosparaxis is an uncommon, congenital and inherited connective tissue disease of dog and cat, resembling Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) in man. EDS is characterized by loose, hyperextensible and, fragile skin, it is attributed to mutations in connective tissue gene. These...
