How is Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) diagnosed?

EDS is usually first suspected due to clinical presentation such as skin hyperextensibility, atrophic scars, and shoulder dislocation. It is thought that many milder cases of EDS go undiagnosed. Diagnosis of EDS can be confirmed via genetic testing to identify the responsible gene and variant of EDS. Interestingly, the most common type of EDS (hypermobile) does not have an identified molecular and genetic cause.^{[1] [2]}
