Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a genetic disorder that affects the body's connective tissues. Connective tissues play a critical role in supporting and holding together structures such as the skin, bones, blood vessels, and organs. These tissues are primarily composed of collagen and elastin proteins. In EDS, the body's ability to produce or process collagen correctly is impaired. This leads to connective tissues being weaker and less supportive than normal. Consequently, this condition can affect many parts of the body, including the skin, joints, muscles, blood vessels, and internal organs, causing a variety of symptoms.
