Extracted from the Wikipedia article Ehlers–Danlos syndrome.
Ehlers–Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a group of 13 geneticconnective tissue disorders. Symptoms often include loose joints, joint pain, stretchy, velvety skin, and abnormal scar formation. These may be noticed at birth or in early childhood. Complications may include aortic dissection, joint dislocations, scoliosis, chronic pain, or early osteoarthritis. The existing classification was last updated in 2017, when a number of rarer forms of EDS were added.
