| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Hypermobility type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a heritable connective tissue disorder characterized by joint hypermobility. We developed a method for quantification of serum TNX, one of the causative genes of hypermobility type of EDS, using nano-liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. It was revealed that serum concentrations of TNX of healthy individuals were quantified as an average of 144 ng/ml. Furthermore, in order to identify potential serum biomarkers for hypermobility type of EDS, we examined proteins with differential levels in sera from the patients by proteomic analyses. We identified 6 proteins involved in the complement system as increased proteins in sera from the patients.
