Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of hereditary connective tissue disorders characterized by defects of the major structural protein in the body (collagen). Collagen, a tough, fibrous protein, plays an essential role in "holding together", strengthening, and providing elasticity to bodily cells and tissues. Due to defects of collagen, primary EDS symptoms and findings include abnormally flexible, loose joints (articular hypermobility) that may easily become dislocated; unusually loose, thin, "stretchy" (elastic) skin; and excessive fragility of the skin, blood vessels, and other bodily tissues and membranes. 2, record 1, English, - Canadian%20Ehlers%20Danlos%20Association
