U01.01.035 Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
Carefully analyze the genetic and clinical clues given in the question. Look for key findings such as joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and easy bruising. Next, connect these clinical features to the underlying collagen gene mutation (COL5A1). Use your understanding of the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome subtypes to identify which one matches this genetic defect.
