Genetics Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and Me

All of the laboratory testing for 23andMe is done in a CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited laboratory in the United States.

 I had my DNA ran by 23andme.com using saliva testing. I took the results and ran them through livewello. These are my results based on genes presumed to be linked to Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (note: SNPs are all collectively found on my chip for each gene. There are more but they aren't showing on my chip at this time.)

My diagnosis is classical familial hypermobility type of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome by my rheumatologist. I have not seen a geneticist. I do not have insurance to go see one or seek treatment at this time. Thanks for reading! Please subscribe and share!

    Hi, I had 23 and me genetic test done and was wondering if you know of a site to upload the data to see if I also have EDS. I have many of the symptoms and so do my 2 boys - which were born around the same time yours were. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Susie

    Thank you for your comment. The results I show here are 23andme translated by livewello. I am told that there are thousands more snp related to EDS than what I show here because this test is specifically for ancestry and it picks up only a handful. A test specifically for EDS would be needed to know for sure.
