What is EDS? Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a group of genetic collagen disorders that affects the connective tissues throughout the body. This tissue supports the skin, bones, blood vessels, arteries and internal organs.
The features of EDS were first described by Hippocrates in 400 BC. The syndrome is named after two physicians, Edvard Ehlers from Denmark and Henri-Alexandre Danlos from France, who described it at the turn of the 20th century.s an autosomal dominant defect in the type-III collagen synthesis; affecting approximately 1 in 100,000 to 250,000 people. The vascular type is considered one of the more serious forms of EhlersâDanlos syndrome because blood vessels and organs are fragile and prone to tearing (rupture).
