TNXB Gene

TNXB Gene

The TNXB gene encodes tenascin-X, a protein crucial for connective tissue integrity. Mutations in the TNXB gene can cause Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, characterised by joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and tissue fragility. Understanding the TNXB gene's function aids in diagnosing and managing connective tissue disorders efficiently.
