Vascular collagen fibril morphology in type IV ehlers-Danlos syndrome
Abstract
Morphometric analysis of transmission electron micrographs of blood vessel, skin and dura mater collagen fibers were performed on postmortem tissues taken from 28-year-old female with Ehlers-Danlos type IV syndrome (EDS IV). Vascular tissue from this patient was compared to 5 age- and sex-matched controls (age range 26-28 years). Our study revealed significant variation in collagen fibril diameter in the walls of almost all the vessels studied. …
