In this webinar from December 5, 2018, Paldeep Atwal discusses the discovery of AEBP1-related EDS and the expansion of understanding of EDS and related disorders.
It's a very, very recent addition (since 2017) and not yet defined as to diagnostic criteria. A bit more background can be found at www.ehlers-danlos.com/a-new-type-of-ehlers-danlos-syndrome-discovered/ and through the link included there to the originating paper. At this point there are some very specific variants identified; genetic testing would examine the AEBP1 gene for those variants.
Emma Dr Atwal is my doctor and sees patients via telemedicine. He provides genetic testing and consultation. His website is www.atwalclinic.com He is very kind and compassionate as well as brilliant.
This is a new type of EDS www.ehlers-danlos.com/a-new-type-of-ehlers-danlos-syndrome-discovered/ and hEDS still has no identified cause. If you have the AEBP1 mutation, you wouldn't be diagnosed as having hEDS. It's possible there have been some with AEBP1 who had been diagnosed with hEDS, but there aren't any indicators so far this is a large percentage.
If anyone sees this in 2022: AEBP1 related EDS is now classified as clEDS type 2.
Thank you for doing this amazing work.
I literally just found this gene in my raw data!! Theres NO WAY I have this rare of a type right? They didnt test for this one..
How does one get genetically tested for this paticular type of EDS?

Emma Jones see my response below it did not tag you.❤️
@@thehippieologist4091 I have already emailed him quite sometime ago. He suggested I see a local genetists
Is this considered a link to hEDS?

Is there any way you can include a brief summary of this webinar? I try so hard but I get easily distracted.
Both patients had large earlobes. I wonder if this is also an identifying marker?
