Ehlers–Danlos syndromes (EDS) be a group of 13 genetic connective tissue disorders.[1] Symptoms often dey include loose joints, joint pain, stretchy, velvety skin, den abnormal scar formation.[2] Dese fi be noticed at birth anaa insyd early kiddie time.[3] Complications fi include aortic dissection, joint dislocations, scoliosis, chronic pain, anaa early osteoarthritis.[2][4] Dem last update de existing classification insyd 2017, wen na dem add a number of rarer forms of EDS.[2][5]

EDS dey occur secof mutations insyd one anaa more particular genes—der be 19 genes wey fi contribute to de condition.[2] De specific gene wey e affect dey determine de type of EDS, though de genetic dey cause of hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (hEDS) still be unknown.[2][6] Sam cases dey result from a new variation wey dey occur during early development. In contrast, odas be inherited insyd an autosomal dominant anaa recessive manner.[2] Typically, dese variations result in defects insyd de structure anaa processing of de protein collagen anaa tenascin.[2]

Diagnosis often be based on symptoms, particularly hEDS, buh people initially fi be misdiagnosed plus somatic symptom disorder, depression, anaa myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome.[4] Genetic testing fi be used to confirm all types of EDS except EDS, for wich a dem no yet discover genetic marker.[6]

A cure no yet be known,[7] wey treatment be supportive in nature.[4] Physical therapy den bracing fi help strengthen muscles den support joints.[4] Several medications fi help alleviate symptoms of EDS, such as pain den blood pressure drugs, wich reduce joint pain den complications wey blood vessel weakness cause.[8] Sam forms of EDS dey result in a normal life expectancy, buh those wey dey affect blood vessels generally decrease am.[7] All forms of EDS fi result in fatal outcomes for sam patients.[9][10][11]

While EDS dey affect at least one insyd 5,000 people globally,[2][12] oda types occur at lower frequencies.[5][9] De prognosis dey depend on de specific disorder.[4] Excess mobility be first described by Hippocrates insyd 400 BC.[13] Dem name de syndromes after two physicians, Edvard Ehlers den Henri-Alexandre Danlos, wey describe dem at de turn of de 20th century.[14]
