A 13-year-old patient with dermatosparaxis (Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VIIC), an autosomal recessive disorder of procollagen-I-N-proteinase, is presented. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The homozygous mutation Q225X was present in 80% of cases subjected to molecular analysis. There is no specific treatment available for this disease, but symptomatic management should be offered in a specialised centre. [orpha.net]

CLINICAL RELEVANCE: These findings strongly suggest that the mutation responsible for dermatosparaxis in White Dorper sheep is present in New Zealand. [tandfonline.com]
