Collagenopathies refers to a group of disorders, which influences connective tissues. Connective tissues help to support the body's organs and joints. Collagens are the composite molecules, which offer strength, structure, and elasticity to the connective tissue.
The collagens are the constituents of the cartilage witnessed in joints. Therefore, defective collagen proteins lead to a defect in strength, structure, and elasticity of the connective tissue that eventually influences a person's mobility and stability.
