Presentation
Among the 23 subjects with limited workup, 5 (21.74%) presented with a rheumatological disease (psoriasis, RA, PMR). [acrabstracts.org]
The presently reported ultrastructural findings are in line with such concept. The present study represents the first attempt using skin ultrastruture for distinguishing EDSH and JHS from FM. [omicsonline.org]
Due to the patient’s presentation, we felt that he was presenting with a threatened limb and the patient was emergently taken to the peripheral catheterization laboratory for angiography. [vasculardiseasemanagement.com]

Workup
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]

Seeking a Diagnosis and Treatment For a parent, EDS feels like walking through a minefield with your child. [complexchild.org]
Prognosis
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]
Treatment Prognosis References: [10] [13] [14] [15] [3] [#8376} [amboss.com]
The prognosis with this type is poor. Sudden death can occur after visceral perforation or after the rupture of a large vessel, most commonly an abdominal and splenic vessel. [emedicine.medscape.com]

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
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]
A brief history of the disease is presented along with the epidemiology and characteristics of the 8 main phenotypes of the syndrome. [cda-adc.ca]
Epidemiology Frequency International Worldwide, more than 1.5 million people are diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS). EDS (all types combined) is reported to have a 1 in 5,000-10,000 population frequency. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Pathophysiology
Reflections on the pathophysiology We estimate that the alteration in proprioception plays a large part in the clinical manifestation of EDS. [symbiosisonlinepublishing.com]
Other gene mutations include: TNXB (small percentage in hypermobility type) COL3A1 (vascular type) PLODA1 (kyphoscoliosis type) COL1A1, COL1A2 (arthrochalasia type) ADAMTS2 (dermatosparixis) Pathophysiology of EDS The inherited group of disorders is a [lecturio.com]

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Arthrochalasia Type is a genetic disorder, and currently, there are no methods or guidelines available to prevent its occurrence. [dovemed.com]
Treatment of EDS typically consists of management of specific signs and symptoms of the condition as well as lifestyle adjustments to prevent injury/complications. [physio-pedia.com]
