Introduction
EDS is an autosomal dominant/recessive disorder of the connective tissue that is characterized by the hyper elasticity of the skin and hyper mobile joints.
Epidemiology:
The overall incidence of EDS is about 1 in 5,000 births, with a higher chance of occurrence in African Americans. Classical EDS and hyper mobile EDS are commonly diagnosed. Patients with milder forms frequently do not seek medical attention.
