Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) consists of a group of mendelian disorders characterized by defects of type I and type III collagen synthesis and structure. Clinical findings include hypermobile joints, aortic dissection (most common cause of death), bleeding into the skin (ecchymoses), and poor wound healing
