A recessive form of the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome caused by tenascin-X deficiency
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: The Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a heritable connective-tissue disorder caused by defects in fibrillar-collagen metabolism. Mutations in the type V collagen genes account for up to 50 percent of cases of classic Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, but many other cases are unexplained. We investigated whether the deficiency of the tenascins, extracellular-matrix proteins that are highly expressed in connective tissues, was associated with the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. METHODS: We screened serum samples from 151 patients with the classic, hypermobility, or vascular types of the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome; 75 patients with psoriasis; 93 patients with rheumatoid arthritis; and 21 healthy persons for the presence of tenascin-X and tenascin-C by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. We examined the expression of tenascins and type V collagen in skin by immunohistochemical methods and sequenced the tenascin-X gene. RESULTS: Tenascin-X was present in serum from all normal subjects, all patients with psoriasis, all patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and 146 of 151 patients with the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Tenascin-X was absent from the serum of the 5 remaining patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, who were unrelated. Tenascin-X deficiency was confirmed in these patients by analysis of skin fibroblasts and by immunostaining of skin. The expression of tenascin-C and type V collagen was normal in these patients. All five of these patients had hypermobile joints, hyperelastic skin, and easy bruising, without atrophic scarring. Tenascin-X mutations were identified in all tenascin-X-deficient patients; one patient had a homozygous tenascin-X gene deletion, one was heterozygous for the deletion, and three others had homozygous truncating point mutations, confirming a causative role for tenascin-X and a recessive pattern of inheritance. CONCLUSIONS: Tenascin-X deficiency causes a clinically distinct, recessive form of the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. This finding indicates that factors other than the collagens or collagen-processing enzymes can cause the syndrome and suggests a central role for tenascin-X in maintaining the integrity of collagenous matrix.

From The Ehlers–Danlos syndromes, rare types (2017) · cites this paper as Schalkwijk et al., 2001
The Discussion states that tenascin-X-deficient patients had clinical findings similar to classic EDS. It documents complete absence of tenascin-X in serum, skin, and fibroblast-conditioned medium, but does not establish its absence throughout the body. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredTenascin-X deficiency causes a clinically distinct, more severe form of EDS, either with or without associated 21-hydroxylase deficiency.

The Abstract concludes that tenascin-X deficiency causes a clinically distinct form of EDS, and Clinical Findings in Tenascin-X Deficiency reports affected patients both with and without coexisting congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency. The Discussion only suggests that tenascin-X deficiency may be particularly debilitating; it does not establish that this form is more severe. Page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredComplete tenascin-X deficiency has been reported to cause classic EDS in an autosomal recessive manner, whereas the most prevalent type of hypermobile EDS is associated with defects in tenascin-X in an autosomal dominant manner.
“Complete tenascinX de fi ciency has been reported to cause classic EDS (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man number 130000) in an autosomal recessive manner, 9 whereas the most prevalent type of hypermobile EDS is associated with defects in tenascin-X in an autosomal dominant manner. 10,12,13”

The Abstract reports that complete tenascin-X deficiency causes a recessive form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. The Discussion, however, calls that form clinically distinct from classic EDS, noting that the patients lacked atrophic scars. The sentence cites other sources for its separate claim about dominant inheritance in hypermobile EDS. (LLM, conf=0.88)

The Abstract (page not provided) reports TNXB mutations in patients with EDS, supporting an association with EDS generally. But the Discussion describes their condition as distinct from previously described types, and the Clinical Findings section says four of five patients were unclassified at referral; the paper does not establish an association specifically with hypermobility-type EDS. Its statement that many cases remain unexplained concerns classic EDS, and it does not identify hypermobility-type EDS as the most common type. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
