How Do Doctors Diagnose Heritable Disorders of Connective Tissue?

To diagnose HCDTs, doctors look at:

  • Family history
  • Medical history
  • Results from a physical exam

Some people may also see a medical geneticist (someone who studies how genes affect people). Lab tests can confirm some HDCTs, but not all.
