Hypermobility spectrum disorder does not include people with asymptomatic hypermobility or people with double-jointedness but no other symptoms. Hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos syndrome and hypermobility spectrum disorders may be equally severe. [5] [6] HSD is further classified into different subtypes, which include: [6]
Marfan syndrome, cutis laxa syndrome, familial joint hypermobility syndrome, [4] Loeys–Dietz syndrome, hypermobility spectrum disorder: Treatment: Supportive [6] Prognosis: Depends on specific disorder [4] Frequency: 1 in 5,000 [1]
Joint hypermobility is often correlated with hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (hEDS, known also by EDS type III or Ehlers–Danlos syndrome hypermobility type (EDS-HT)). Ehlers–Danlos syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by mutations or hereditary genes, but the genetic defect that produced hEDS is largely unknown. In conjunction with ...
A number of conditions can feature dysautonomia, such as Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, dementia with Lewy bodies, [6] Ehlers–Danlos syndromes, [7] autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy and autonomic neuropathy, [8] HIV/AIDS, [9] mitochondrial cytopathy, [10] pure autonomic failure, autism, and postural orthostatic tachycardia ...
Loeys–Dietz syndrome (LDS) is an autosomal dominant genetic connective tissue disorder. It has features similar to Marfan syndrome and Ehlers–Danlos syndrome. [3] [4] [5] The disorder is marked by aneurysms in the aorta, often in children, and the aorta may also undergo sudden dissection in the weakened layers of the wall of the aorta.
The Ehlers–Danlos Society is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to patient support, scientific research, advocacy, and increasing awareness for the Ehlers–Danlos syndromes (EDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD). [1] The society has organized multiple events around the world in an attempt to raise awareness for EDS ...
