Collagen Diseases
Collagen diseases are a group of disorders caused by changes in the structure, amount, or production of collagen, the main structural protein in human bodies. Collagen plays a vital role in the functioning of the human body, including providing strength and form to skin, bones, ligaments, and tendons. Dysfunction of collagen can cause a range of health problems. Examples of collagen diseases include Ehler-Danlos syndrome, Marfan syndrome, Osteogenesis Imperfecta, and many more. These conditions can cause a variety of symptoms including joint pain, fragile bones, and organ complications. Early diagnosis and treatment of collagen diseases is essential for maintaining health and functional living.
