Abstract

Ehlers Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a hereditary collagen disorder which primarily manifests in the skin and joints. Clinically, it is characterized by hyperelasticity of skin and joint hypermobility. This article has described a rare condition seen in a 10-year-old boy who was diagnosed with EDS, based on the clinical, radiographic and histological findings.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
