Emphasis

warning

"types I and II (also called classic Ehlers-Danlos syndrome) are autosomal dominant and result from mutations in COL5A1 and COL5A2 ⁹"

Line 15:120 · Italics should be used only in exceptional circumstances: 'COL5A1 and COL5A2'

"type VII is subclassified into arthrochalasia (type VIIa/b - autosomal dominant) and dermatosparaxis (type VIIc - autosomal recessive) which result from mutations in COL1A1/COL1A2 and procollagen N-peptidase respectively; COL1A1/COL1A2 mutations result in defective conversion of procollagen to collagen ⁹"

Line 19:174 · Italics should be used only in exceptional circumstances: 'COL1A1/COL1A2 and procollagen N-peptidase respectively; COL1A1'

Acronyms

warning

"type IV (also called vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome ⁴) is autosomal dominant and involves the arteries, GI tract, uterus and skin; COL3A1 mutation result in type III collagen production"

Line 17:131 · 'GI' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.
