Your submitted paragraph: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) A heterogeneous group of disorders (I to XI) sharing clinical features of abnormal velvety skin which heals poorly, hyperextensibility of the joints and lax ligaments. Different forms have additional features such as spontaneous or prolonged bleeding, rupture of large blood vessels, ocular abnormalities, and kyphoscoliosis. Where defined, the genetic defect is in the synthesis of various types of collagen. EDS type VII is caused by a defective gene for collagen type I; EDS type IV by errors in the |ga1 chain gene of collagen type III. The distribution of features can be partly explained on the basis of the tissue distribution of different collagens. The frequency overall is one in 10 000 births and depending on the type may be inherited as a RECESSIVE, DOMINANT, or X-LINKED trait. See: EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX MOLECULES.
