EDS research

Abstract scientific illustration of interconnected protein-like molecular networks in shades of navy blue, light blue, gray, black, and white on a clean white background. Glossy circular nodes are connected by thin lines to form two minimalist network clusters, with small scattered dots suggesting additional molecules. The image is decorative and represents protein interaction networks and proteomics rather than specific biological structures.

New Study Finds Shared Protein Signatures in hEDS and HSD

A recent 2026 study is providing additional clues about the biology of hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD) and hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS). In this article, we’ll explore what the researchers discovered, why they believe the two conditions may share common biological mechanisms, and what these findings could mean for future research. How the Study Was […]

Update On Gene Linked to Hypermobile EDS

A new study, led by Dr. Cortney Gensemer, marks a genetic breakthrough in hEDS research. The KLK15 variant (p.Gly226Asp) has been identified as a direct disease-causing gene in hypermobile EDS, causing connective tissue dysfunction and immune system dysregulation.
