[edit]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"). [1] 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
[edit]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)
