Joint hypermobility is often correlated with hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (hEDS, known also by EDS type III or Ehlers–Danlos syndrome hypermobility type (EDS-HT)). Ehlers–Danlos syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by mutations or hereditary genes, but the genetic defect that produced hEDS is largely unknown. In conjunction with ...
The Beighton score can be used to determine generalised joint hypermobility (GJH) related to hypermobility syndrome. [10] The newer term "generalised hypermobility spectrum disorder" includes people with generalised joint hypermobility, often determined using the Beighton score, and other symptoms.
Joint hypermobility is present, but generally confined to the small joints (fingers, toes). Other common features include club foot , tendon and/or muscle rupture, acrogeria (premature aging of the skin of the hands and feet), early-onset varicose veins , pneumothorax (collapse of a lung), the recession of the gums, and a decreased amount of ...
Genetic conditions, such as hypermobility syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome put individuals at increased risk for dislocations. [13] Hypermobility syndrome is an inherited disorder that affects the ligaments around joints. [14] The loosened or stretched ligaments in the joint provide less stability and allow for the joint to dislocate more ...
Langer–Giedion syndrome initially causes joint hypermobility. This progresses to joint stiffness later in life when osteochondromas begin to develop, typically between infancy and mid-childhood, which decreases mobility. Hip dysplasia may be present, usually developing in early adulthood, although it can occur in infancy or childhood. [8]

Generalized joint hypermobility and hypotonia are observed in ~75% and ~55% of cases, respectively, and are often associated with musculoskeletal pain and joint instability. Approximately half of individuals exhibit behavioral or psychiatric issues; the most common diagnosis is autism spectrum disorder. [ 3 ]
Loeys–Dietz syndrome (LDS) is an autosomal dominant genetic connective tissue disorder. It has features similar to Marfan syndrome and Ehlers–Danlos syndrome . [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] The disorder is marked by aneurysms in the aorta , often in children, and the aorta may also undergo sudden dissection in the weakened layers of the wall of the aorta.
