E hlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a hereditary collagen disease presenting primarily as dermatological and joint disorders. [cda-adc.ca]

Subjects were further sorted into the categories of “no rheumatological workup” (ie physical exam only), “limited workup” (ie only ANA and RF), or “complete workup” (all serological markers, HLA B27, ESR, and CRP, etc). [acrabstracts.org]

The treatment for a patient with EDS can include small specific mobilization (slower and gentler movement than manipulation) from the chiropractor. [applehealthwellness.com]

Seeking a Diagnosis and Treatment For a parent, EDS feels like walking through a minefield with your child. [complexchild.org]

Progress and Prognosis of EDS While prognosis depends on the type of the syndrome, early diagnosis certainly increases the life span and improves life quality. [lecturio.com]

In genetic advising and prognosis of the EDS patients, there is a need for new tools to separate them from hypermobile patients. [ehlersdanlos.ca]

Etiology of EDS Ehlers-Danlos syndrome caused by gene mutations More than a dozen gene mutations have been found in association with EDS. The classical type of the disease is a consequence of mutation in either COL5A1 or COL5A2 gene. [lecturio.com]

The usual medical culture perceives a disease as an entity that has an etiological basis, which presents a characteristic clinical picture, and which requires appropriate treatment. [avensonline.org]

(Etiology) Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Arthrochalasia Type is caused by mutation(s) in the COL1A1 or COL1A2 genes. These genes code for type 1 collagen, which is found in abundance in the human body. [dovemed.com]

Epidemiology of EDS While mild or incomplete forms are more common but undiagnosed, the prevalence of EDS is 1 in 400.000 people. It is often diagnosed in childhood and has no racial predominance. [lecturio.com]
