Disease characteristics

Excerpted from the GeneReview: FBLN5-Related Cutis Laxa
FBLN5-related cutis laxa is characterized by cutis laxa, early childhood-onset pulmonary emphysema, peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis, and other evidence of a generalized connective disorder such as inguinal hernias and hollow viscus diverticula (e.g., intestine, bladder). Occasionally, supravalvar aortic stenosis is observed. Intrafamilial variability in age of onset is observed. Cardiorespiratory failure from complications of pulmonary emphysema (respiratory or cardiac insufficiency) is the most common cause of death. [from GeneReviews]

Additional description

From OMIM
Cutis laxa is a connective tissue disorder characterized by loose skin and variable internal organ involvement resulting from a paucity of elastic fibers (summary by Markova et al., 2003). For a complete phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of autosomal dominant cutis laxa, see ADCL1 (123700).  http://www.omim.org/entry/614434
