Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) refers to a collection of rare genetic disorders that impact connective tissue. These conditions are marked by distinct features such as stretchable skin, flexible joints, and fragile tissues. The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are named after two doctors, Dr. Edvard Lauritz Ehlers and Dr. Henri-Alexandre Danlos, who described the condition in the early twentieth century.
