Quote from article:
" In Schwartz's case, the leading hypothesis is that his enlarged and overly stretchy venous system might reflect a subtle problem with the collagen in his connective tissue. It is possible that the collagen, a protein that functions as a sort of scaffolding and holds the body together, is not strong enough to support the walls of his veins. He also shows signs of dysautonomia. "
