Prognosis The prognosis for patients is variable: life expectancy is generally not reduced. Although the skin manifestations improve with age, cognitive decline has been reported in some older patients. Expert reviewer(s): M GUILLARD - Dr D.J. [orpha.net]

Etiology ARCL1 is genetically heterogeneous and, although the etiology remains unknown in the majority of cases, mutations have been identified in some patients in the FBLN5 (14q31) and EFEMP2 (11q13) genes, encoding the extracellular matrix proteins [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

In cutis laxa patients mutations have been demonstrated in elastin or fibulin genes, but in the majority of patients the underlying genetic etiology remains unknown. [mayoclinic.pure.elsevier.com]

Pathophysiology Cutis laxa (elastolysis) is characterized by degenerative changes in the elastic fibers resulting in loose, pendulous skin. The skin is sagging, redundant, and stretchable, with reduced elastic recoil. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prevention The inherited forms of cutis laxa are genetically determined and are not currently preventable. Genetic counseling can be helpful for anyone with a family history of cutis laxa. [dxline.info]
