چکیده
Sir, There are several hereditary connective tissue disorders (CTDs), which occur due to mutation of specific genes. Common CTDs, which may present to a dermatologist, include Marfan syndrome (MFS) and Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (EDS); hence, we need to become acquainted with the diagnostic clinical features of these conditions. However, on rare occasions, patients may present with overlapping features of both these conditions, when the entity is called Marfanoid hypermobility syndrome.
