Selected Heritable Disorders of Connective Tissue and Disability

Completed

The U.S. Social Security Administration has requested the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine establish an ad hoc committee to review certain heritable conditions related to connective tissues, including but not necessarily limited to Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and Marfan syndrome. The Committee will use published evidence and professional experience to develop a report that will examine the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of the selected conditions, as well as levels of associated functional limitation, in adults and children in the U.S. population.
