Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
source: patient.info
year: 2015
authors: Mary Lowth
summary/abstract:Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a rare inherited condition with disruption of the integrity of structural proteins in skin, ligaments, cartilage and blood vessels, leading to fragility of connective tissues.
Early literature quotes a 1/5,000 frequency of all types of EDS with EDS hypermobility type (EDS-HT) accounting for about half of all registered cases. However, EDS-HT is an underdiagnosed condition. A frequency of 0.2-0.6% has been suggested for Caucasians, with a higher figure for Africans. Men have lower incidence of EDS-HT compared with women.
