QuestionChoice
EDS is indeed an example of a connective tissue disorder. It is a group of inherited disorders that affect the connective tissues in the body, primarily due to defects in collagen production or structure. This leads to various physical and physiological manifestations, including joint hypermobility, skin hyperelasticity, and fragility of tissues, such as blood vessels and internal organs. It is said to be associated primarily with a Type 1 collagen defect.
