Abstract excerpt
Dermatan sulfate (DS) is a glycosaminoglycan known to contribute to tissue strength through collagen fibril assembly. Musculocontractural Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (mcEDS) caused by pathogenic variants in the gene that encodes carbohydrate sulfotransferase 14 (CHST14) (mcEDS-CHST14) is a representative disorder of DS deficiency. Skeletal lesions, such as progressive spinal deformity and osteoporosis/osteopenia, are...
