Different types of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome are associated with a variety of genetic causes, some of which are inherited and passed on from parent to child. If you have the most common form, hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, there's a 50% chance that you'll pass on the gene to each of your children.
Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is an inherited connective tissue disorder that is caused by defects in a protein called collagen. It is generally considered the least severe form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) although significant complications can occur.
What is hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS)? hEDS is a heritable connective tissue disorder that causes generalized joint hypermobility, joint instability, and chronic pain. hEDS is also associated with a variety of other symptoms and related conditions that affect many different areas of the body.
Each type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome has its own symptoms, but the most common EDS symptoms include: Overly flexible (hypermobile) joints — it might feel like your joints are loose or unstable. Soft skin that’s thinner and stretches more than it should. Bruising easily or more often than usual.
For hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, the most common form, there is no genetic testing available. There is no cure for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, but treatment can help you manage your symptoms and prevent further complications. Your doctor may prescribe drugs to help you control: Pain.
Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) is characterized by generalized joint hypermobility, joint instability, pain, soft and hyperextensible skin with atrophic scars and easy bruising, dental crowding, abdominal hernias, pelvic organ prolapse, marfanoid body habitus, mitral valve prolapse, and aortic root dilatation.
Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorders are the most common symptomatic joint hypermobility conditions seen in clinical practice.
Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS), which used to be known as the hypermobility type or type 3, is thought to be the most common genetic connective tissue disorder. There is no up-to-date research to tell us exactly how frequently it occurs.
Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) is a heritable connective tissue disorder that causes generalized joint hypermobility, joint instability, and chronic pain. hEDS is also associated with a variety of other symptoms and related conditions that affect many different areas of the body.
Hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD) Some people have problems caused by hypermobility, but do not have any of the specific EDS conditions. They may be diagnosed with hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD), which is treated in the same way as hEDS. Getting medical advice. See a GP if you have several troublesome symptoms of EDS.
