Summary

This study aims to create a long-term Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) biorepository and clinical research database to support gene and biomolecular discovery. The repository will serve as a sustainable resource for advancing EDS-related research by collecting both clinical data and biological samples. Participants who consent will be included in the EDS registry, which stores demographic and operative information, contact details, and biological specimens for current and future studies. Enrolled patients may also choose to be recontacted for future research opportunities. The database will link participants across specialties using identifiers such as name, date of birth, and medical record number. Data collected will include information from electronic health records, such as clinical notes, diagnoses, medications, labs, imaging, anthropometric measures, and procedure reports.
