Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome or (EDS) for short affects approximately 1 in 5,000 live births and is a condition where abnormalities of the production of collagen result in bruising, wide scars, laxity of joints and hyperelasticity of the skin. The first sign of this disorder may be premature rupture of the membranes. There may be herniae, bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract, and dissection aneurysms of the aorta at an early age.

World’s leading expert in Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), Professor Rodney Grahame claims that “No other condition in the history of modern medicine, has been neglected in such a way as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome”.  Lets hope this section of ABLEize albeit it relatively small goes a little way to try to correct that statement.
