Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a group of inherited disorders that affect connective tissue, the tissue that binds and supports the body's muscles, ligaments, organs, and skin. The dermatosparaxis type is characterized by extremely fragile and sagging skin. This form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome was formerly called type VIIC. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, dermatosparaxis type is a subtype of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. People with this form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome have soft, doughy skin that is very fragile and bruises easily. The skin sags and wrinkles, and extra (redundant) folds of skin may be present as children get older. Joints are very loose, which can delay the development of motor skills such as sitting, standing, and walking. Infants with the condition are born with a soft out-pouching around the belly-button (an umbilical hernia). Other symptoms include a small chin, a blue tinge to the part of the eyeball that is usually white (the sclera), and mild overgrowth of body hair.
