Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of diseases characterized by an increased elasticity of the skin. The cause of some EDS species is probably a defective collagen, the causes of other species are still unclear.

In EDS there is a strong overstretching of the skin, haematoma inclination, over-mobility of the joints, spontaneous ruptures of aorta and other vessels. EDS is a rare disease with an incidence of 1:5,000 to approx. 1:10,000.
