Q

Which of the following is the characterized of abnormal collagen synthesis leading to weak collagen fibers?

A. Scurvy

B. Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

C. Marfans syndrome

A

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

NOTE:

Scurvy: Vitamin C deficiency –> cofactor needed for crosslinking collagen

Marfan’s Syndrome: Mutatioon in fibrilin-i gene of elastic fibers causing elastin to be weak
