Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain Ehlers-Danlos syndromes and their types, relay general information on diagnosis, management and support from expert bodies, describe living with the condition, and route personal medical questions to clinicians.

A group of inherited connective tissue disorders caused by defects in collagen or related proteins, characterised by joint hypermobility, stretchy or fragile skin and tissue fragility, with types classified by clinical features and genetics including classical, hypermobile, vascular, kyphoscoliotic, cardiac valvular and musculocontractural types; severity ranges from mild to life-threatening in the vascular type, and care involves diagnosis by clinical criteria and genetic testing, multidisciplinary management and genetic counselling.

What it is for: Inherited connective tissue disorders.

It can be explain types; relay diagnosis and management information; describe living with the condition; route personal questions.

What it looks like

Not physical as a category; features include hypermobile joints and stretchy skin.

How it is recognised

Inherited collagen-related disorders

Hypermobility and tissue fragility

Marfan syndrome and hypermobility spectrum disorder are related but distinct
