I've checked my genes for the most common types of EDS, and got no results - even though I can bend my thumbs to touch my forearms, bend my pinkies back too far, touch my hands flat on the floor while standing with straight legs, etc .... in fact, I used to bend my pinkies all the way back to touch my forearms when I was a kid, to impress my friends
But then I also looked in my SNPs for a gene involved a rare type of EDS (VIIC) which I don't have the extreme skin symptoms for. But I do have quite a few rare-ish alleles on that gene (ADAMTS2):
rs6862563 - AG (5.08%)
rs181797 - GG (4.85%)
rs878933 - AA (3.71%)
So maybe there's something going on with that gene, other than the extreme variations (sections missing) that cause severe symptoms.
