Talk:Classification of Ehlers–Danlos syndrome

Untitled

The summary table regarding EDS types is no longer accurate based on the revisions from Malfait et al 2017, published in the Amer. J. Medical Genetics Part C ("The 2017 International Classification of the Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes"). As of this publication, there are 13 subtypes - Hypermobile is no longer Type 3, it is type 5, and has not been assigned a definitive genetic/proteinomic causality. TNXB - indicated here as a causative factor for hypermobile - has been reclassified as Type 2 "Classical-like EDS." Other similar changes are summarized in the paper. I currently don't have the time to update the page, but if others have access to the paper, they are welcome to do so - although the reclassification makes correlation to the rates of incidence more difficult.

I agree with your information that you have provided. Ehlers-Danlos society states that hypermobile EDS gene is not known at this point. Classical-like EDS is, which I agree, caused by the TNXB deficiency. The information, however, is pushed to the bottom as 'other types'-and I think it would be good to change this. I will see if I can change this information with the paper that you have provided. If I am late on this matter, please feel free to edit to adapt to the changes. Thank you all so much, and thank you for the information! Poeticfeelings (talk) 07:18, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

Dear fellow Wikipedians, I have fixed the error on the hypermobile EDS with the reference from the Ehlers-Danlos Society. Will continue to return if I need to make more changes! Thank you all so much. Poeticfeelings (talk) 07:31, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
