Deletions and mutations in the gene that encodes for elastin can result in supraventricular aortic stenosis, and autosomal dominant cutis laxa. Other disorders that are associated with defects in elastin are Marfan's Snydrome and emphysema, which is caused by an α<sub>1</sub>-antitrypsin deficiency. | Deletions and mutations in the gene that encodes for elastin can result in supraventricular aortic stenosis, and autosomal dominant cutis laxa.

Elastin
Elastin is a fibrous protein that can be found in human connective tissue and gives the tissue its elastic quality. This allows tissues that have been stretched to regain their original shape.
