Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a group of disorders that affect the connective tissues that support the skin, bones, blood vessels, and many other organs and tissues. Defects in connective tissues cause the signs and symptoms of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which vary from mildly loose joints to life-threatening complications.


Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of genetic connective tissue disorders. Symptoms may include loose joints, stretchy skin, and abnormal scar formation. These can be noticed at birth or in early childhood. Complications may include aortic dissection, joint dislocations, scoliosis, chronic pain, or early osteoarthritis.
EDS is due to a mutation in one of more than a dozen different genes.  The specific gene affected determines the type of EDS. Some cases result from a new mutation occurring during early development while others are inherited in an autosomal dominant or recessive manner.  This results in defects in the structure or processing of collagen.  The diagnosis may be confirmed with genetic testing or a skin biopsy.  People may be misdiagnosed with hypochondriasis, depression, or chronic fatigue syndrome.
There is no known cure.  Treatment is supportive in nature.  Physical therapy and bracing may help strengthen muscles and support joints.  While some types result in a normal life expectancy, those that affect blood vessels generally result in a shorter life expectancy.
EDS affects about 1 in 5,000 people globally. The prognosis depends on the specific type.  Excess mobility was 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
