Can you tell me, disorders of collagen are characterized by deterioration of connective tissues, why would you expect such diseases to produce widely varying symptoms?
Because there are different types of collagen that have distinct function and are found in several specific places in the body, symptoms for disorders of collagen vary widely. Connective tissue disorders can be caused by injury or genetics, which can also contribute to the vast range of symptoms that would be manifested in such disorders. Thanks for using ChaCha!
