Genetice Testing - Ehlers Danlos

The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a group of 13 heritable connective tissue disorders. The conditions are caused by genetic changes that affect connective tissue. Genetic testing is available for every type of EDS except hypermobile EDS (hEDS).

We do not perform genetic testing at Colorado Nerve Care.
 
You may be able to use insurance to cover genetic testing covered by your insurance, often through a large hospital system. 
 
For cash pay testing, we recommend The Atwal Clinic
 
Hypermobile EDS is diagnosed by a questionnaire about symptoms, family history, and a clinical exam.
 
You can receive the clinical exam and questionnaire at Colorado Nerve Care:
