The hypermobile subtype (Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome or “hEDS”), formerly known as “Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, Type III”, is the most common subtype of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Of the 14 subtypes of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, the hypermobile form is the only form that is not yet genetically verifiable, although there is ongoing research being done in attempts to verify the genetic marker(s) for this subtype. Since it is not yet genetically verifiable, this form of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome is diagnosed based on specific clinical examination findings as outlined by the International EDS Consortium in 2017.
