AB  - It  is  a  familial  disorder  characterized  by  generalized  connective  tissue  abnormalities  leading  to  abnormal  tissue  weakness  with  hyperextensible  joints,  eyes  (dislocation  of  the  lens),  increased  risk  of  acute  aortic  valve  dissection,  and  spontaneous  pneumothorax.  The  leading  cause  of  mortality  in  the  infancy  period  is  the  progression  from  mitral  valve  prolapse  to  acute  regurgitation,  often  in  conjunction  with  tricuspid  regurgitation,  leading  to  congestive  heart  failure  and  death.
