AB The  Ehlers-Danlos  Syndromes  (EDS)  form  a  large  group  of  related  disorders  that  are  caused  by  genetic  defects  in  collagen,  either  by  lack  of  amount  or  being  structurally  dysfunctional.  The  clinical  features  are  associated  with  alterations  of  the  skin,  muscles,  skeleton,  and  blood  vessels.  Hyperelasticity  of  the  skin,  hypermobility  of  the  joints  leading  easily  to  dislocations,  vascular  wall  anomalies  causing  aneurysms  and  hemorrhages,  are  pathognomic  signs  of  the  disease.
