INTRODUCTION â Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is the term used for a group of relatively rare genetic disorders of connective tissue which are characterized by one or another of several features, including skin hyperextensibility, joint hypermobility, and tissue fragility.
There are 13 subtypes of EDS, all of which have different criteria for diagnosis, symptoms and genetic abnormalities. hEDS is one of these subtypes and is known as the hypermobile type of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Because there is no genetic test yet, hEDS is diagnosed clinically from a set of complex criteria. There are various other conditions that can appear alongside hEDS, but whilst they are often associated with hEDS they have not been proven to be caused as a result of the condition so are not included in the diagnostic criteria.
