title: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV D: an autosomal recessive disorder.
abstract: Two siblings born to consanguineous parents are reported with typical clinical features of the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV. However, their cultured skin fibroblasts synthesize and secrete procollagen type III in normal amounts and proportions. This is probably a new form of the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome with autosomal recessive inheritance classified as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV D.
