Connective tissue disease
Other namesConnective tissue disorder, collagen vascular diseases
Different types of connective tissue

Connective tissue disease, also known as connective tissue disorder, or collagen vascular diseases, refers to any disorder that affect the connective tissue.[1] The body's structures are held together by connective tissues. They consist of two distinct proteins called elastin and collagen. Tendons, ligaments, skin, cartilage, bone, and blood vessels are all made of collagen. Skin and ligaments contain elastin. The proteins and the body's surrounding tissues may suffer damage when these connective tissues become inflamed.[2]

The two main categories of connective tissue diseases are (1) a set of relatively rare genetic disorders affecting the primary structure of connective tissue, and (2) a variety of acquired diseases where the connective tissues are the site of multiple, more or less distinct immunological and inflammatory reactions.

Classification

edit

Connective tissue diseases can be classified into two groups: (1) a group of relatively rare genetic disorders affecting the primary structure of connective tissue; and (2) a number of acquired conditions where the connective tissues are the site of multiple, more or less distinct immune and inflammatory reactions.[1]

Heritable connective tissue disorders

edit

Hereditary connective tissue disorders are a diverse set of broad, single-gene disorders that impact one or more of the main components of connective tissues, such as ground substance (glycosaminoglycans), collagen, or elastin. Many result in anomalies of the skeleton and joints, which can substantially impair normal growth and development. In contrast to acquired connective tissue diseases, these conditions are uncommon.[1]

Autoimmune connective tissue disorders

edit

Acquired connective tissue diseases share certain clinical features, such as joint inflammation, inflammation of serous membranes, and vasculitis, as well as a high frequency of involvement of various internal organs that are particularly rich in connective tissue.[1]

  • Rheumatoid arthritis - autoimmune disease with an unclear cause that manifests as symmetric, erosive synovitis and, occasionally, extraarticular involvement.[19]
  • Systemic lupus erythematosus - chronic, complex autoimmune inflammatory disorder that can affect every organ in the body.[20]
  • Scleroderma - diverse collection of autoimmune fibrosing conditions.[21]
  • Dermatomyositis and polymyositis - autoimmune myopathies that are clinically characterized by extramuscular symptoms, muscle inflammation, proximal muscle weakening, and oftentimes the detection of autoantibodies.[22]
  • Vasculitis - disease that results in blood vessel inflammation.[23]
  • Sjögren syndrome - a systemic autoimmune illness that mostly affects the exocrine glands and causes mucosal surfaces, especially those in the mouth and eyes, to become extremely dry.[24]
  • Rheumatic fever - multisystem inflammatory illness that develops after group A streptococcal pharyngitis.[25]
  • Amyloidosis - uncommon condition caused by protein mutations or changes in the body that result in twisted clusters of malformed proteins accumulating on organs and tissues.[26]
  • Osteoarthritis - common articular cartilage degenerative disease linked to hypertrophic bone abnormalities.[27]
  • Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura - uncommon and potentially fatal thrombotic microangiopathy characterized by severe thrombocytopenia, organ ischemia connected to diffuse microvascular platelet rich-thrombi, and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia.[28]
  • Relapsing polychondritis - uncommon multisystem autoimmune disease with an unclear etiology that is marked by progressive cartilaginous tissue loss and recurring episodes of inflammation.[29]
  • Mixed connective tissue disease - systemic autoimmune disease that shares characteristics with two or more other systemic autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, polymyositis/dermatomyositis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and systemic sclerosis.[30]
  • Undifferentiated connective tissue disease - unclassifiable systemic autoimmune disorders that do not meet any of the current classification requirements for connective tissue diseases yet have clinical and serological signs similar to connective tissue diseases.[31]
  • Psoriatic arthritis - inflammatory musculoskeletal condition linked to psoriasis.[32]
