Ehlers-Danlos syndrome

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a group of rare genetic disorders that diminish the body's ability to make connective tissues. This results in unstable, flexible joints, including double-jointedness, and elastic, fragile, soft skin that easily forms welts and scars. Other symptoms include eye problems and nearsightedness.
