ABSTRACT: Background
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a common non-inflammatory, congenital connective tissue disorder. Classical type (cEDS) EDS is one of the more common forms, typically caused by mutations in the COL5A1 and COL5A2 genes, though causative mutations in the COL1A1 gene have also been described.Material and methods
The study group included 59 patients of Polish origin, diagnosed with cEDS. The analysis was performed on genomic DNA (gDNA) with NGS technology, using an Illumina sequencer. Thirty-five genes related to connective tissue were investigated. The pathogenicity of the detected variants was assessed by VarSome.Results
The NGS of 35 genes revealed variants within the COL5A1, COL5A2, COL1A1, and COL1A2 genes for 30 of the 59 patients investigated. Our panel detected no sequence variations for the remaining 29 patients.Discussion
Next-generation sequencing, with an appropriate multigene panel, showed great potential to assist in the diagnosis of EDS and other connective tissue disorders. Our data also show that not all causative genes giving rise to cEDS have been elucidated yet.
