Definition/Description[edit | edit source]
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a hereditary collagen disorder characterized by articular hypermobility, dermal hyperelasticity, and widespread tissue fragility (The Merck Manual).
Prevalence[edit | edit source]
Combined prevalence of all subtypes of EDS is about 1 per 5,000. Hypermobility and classic subtypes are the most common with prevalencs of 1 per 10,000-15,000 and 1 per 20,000-40,000 respectively. EDS demonstrates equal prevalence amongst males and females of all racial and ethnic backgrounds (Ehlers Danlos National Foundation, Steiner RD - emedicine, Levy HP - Gene Reviews, U.S. National Library of Medicine).
