Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue plans to give an overview of the most recent advances in the field of hereditary connective tissue disorders and their applications in diverse areas. For now, due to the rarity in the prevalence of the mentioned disorders, the knowledge about clinical image, symptoms and course of the diseases is still insufficient. The rarity of Marfan syndrome and other connective tissue disorders results in a deficit of research and evaluation in this field due to the small group of patients. This causes a delay in the diagnosis and proper care and management of patients which can lead to life-threatening consequences. This is the reason why the knowledge about mentioned disorders should be widely spread and popularized. This Special Issue aims to provide selected contributions to the advances in the diagnosis and management of the mentioned diseases in various areas concerning new insights in cardiology, ophthalmology, orthopedics, genetics, endocrinology and psychology. As well, the goal is to present the most recent results of research regarding the areas that have not been yet broadly described concerning patients with HCTD including topics such as nutritional and body composition abnormalities. The purpose of the Special Issue is to determine what specialistic care should those patients receive and what problems and symptoms of those diseases have been yet diminished and underestimated.
