cutaneous asthenia

a group of inherited disorders of collagen synthesis that result in fragility and hyperextensibility of skin, and in some forms, hypermobility of joints. There are many clinical similarities to the group of human conditions known as ehlers-danlos syndrome. This disorder has been reported in cattle, sheep, horses, dogs, cats, pigs and mink; within and between species there are clinical, biochemical and ultrastructural variations. Examples of diseases which include cutaneous asthenia as a lesion include hereditary collagen dysplasia, dermatosparaxis in cattle and sheep, rubber-puppy syndrome in dogs, cutis hyperelastica in pigs.
