List of doctors

A few years ago medical teams started looking closely at Cutis laxa, in France Centres of Reference dedicated to rare disorders were set up and research teams started working on undertanding the mechanisms of Cutis Laxa, its genetic origin / background and also therapeutic trails.

Thus today there are worldwide “expert” teams for Cutis Laxa.
Here are those we are in regular contact with (in alphabetic order of the countries):
