Aim. To identify the prevalence of main phenotypes of polygenic heritable connective tissue diseases in patients with internal diseases and to assess the prevalence of different internal diseases in such patients. Methods. The study involved 600 patients (254 males, 346 females) aged 18 to 64 years. Average age of males was 52±3.8 years, females - 47±2.2 years. Patients were examined to reveal the signs of different phenotypes of heritable connective tissue diseases in patients with internal diseases, as well as the severity of connective tissue diseases, and possibilities for it screening using the wrist and thumb hypermobility tests. Results. Signs of heritable connective tissue diseases were revealed in 147 (24.5%) patients with internal diseases. In females, those signs were observed in 104 (30.0%) cases, of which 44 (42.3%) were graded as mild, 35 (33.7%) - moderate, 25 (24.0%) - severe. In males, signs of heritable connective tissue diseases were revealed in 43 cases (16.9%), including mild - 17 (39.5%), moderate - 14 (32.5%) and severe - 12 (28.0%). Ehlers-like phenotype was the most common (52.0%), Marfan-like phenotype was observed in 14.0% of cases, primary mitral valve prolapse was diagnosed in 7.0% of patients, unclassifiable phenotype was observed in 11.0% of cases. Joint hypermobility syndrome was revealed in 31.0% of patients, presenting both as specific phenotypes (Marfan-like, Ehlers-like) and as a self-phenotype (31.9% of all the patients with heritable connective tissue diseases phenotype). Benign joint hypermobility was observed in 6.1% of cases. Symptoms of heritable connective tissue diseases were more frequent in patients with gastrointestinal and musculoskeletal diseases. Conclusion. The most common phenotype of heritable connective tissue diseases is Ehlers-like with skin, bone and systemic manifestations. Presence of heritable connective tissue diseases was most commonly associated with gastrointestinal and musculoskeletal diseases.

Background: Joint hypermobility  was first mentioned by Hippocrates as an isolated feature, when he described the Celts' Incapacity to Pull a Bowstring or Throw a Dart, Due to The Slackness of Their Limbs Objective: to determine the prevalence of mitral valve prolapse(MVP)in patients with benign hypermobility syndrome (BJHS). Type of the study: Cross –sectional study. Methods: Ninety patients with BJHS were included in this study. Full cardiological assessment was done for all of them,  which  include clinical examination, electrocardiography and echocardiography. Cardiac assessment was done for another sixty age and sex matched (normal mobile) Individuals served as a control group. Statistical analysis was done by using T test or chi square as indicated. Results: Among 90 patients with BJHS, MVP was reported in 26 patients (28.9%) compared to four individuals (6.7%)of the control group on modern echocardiography studies (P=0.013). Conclusions: the prevalence of MVP was significantly higher among patients with BJHS compared to normal mobile individuals.
