A Recessive Form of the EhlersâDanlos Syndrome Caused by Tenascin-X Deficiency Tenascin-X deficiency causes a clinically distinct, recessive form of the Ehlers–Danlos syndrome. This finding indicates that factors other than the collagens or collagen-processing enzymes can cause the syndrome and suggests a central role for tenascin-X in maintaining the integrity of collagenous matrix.
