Cutis laxa (CL) is an inherited or acquired connective tissue disorder characterized by wrinkled, redundant and sagging inelastic skin associated with skeletal and developmental anomalies and, in some cases, with severe systemic involvement. Several different forms of inherited CL have been described, differentiated on the basis of the mode of inheritance and differences in the extent of internal organ involvement, associated anomalies and disease severity.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for cutis laxa has been reported in the published literature.
Estimated prevalence: Unknown (Unknown prevalence).
5 clinical trials registered, 2 recruiting. Interventions under study include other interventions and medical devices. Pipeline includes 2 NA. Research is sponsored by a mix of industry and academic institutions.
