Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When a person has very flexible joints, skin that stretches more than usual, and easy bruising, the suspicion of a connective tissue disorder may arise, prompting a specialized evaluation. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is precisely a group of inherited diseases that affect collagen.
What it is: a set of genetic conditions that alter the strength and elasticity of the body's tissues.
Frequent manifestations: joint hypermobility, fragility of the skin, slow wound healing and, in some types, involvement of blood vessels.
Which specialists take part? The geneticist is central to Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and depending on the organs involved the cardiologist or the vascular specialist may join. If you recognize several of these signs, it is worth presenting the case to a professional for an appropriate evaluation.
