Hi guys,
I found out today I have the Mutation of the COL3A1 gene used to confirm a diagnosis of Vascular EDS. Does this mean anything on its own ? Should I look into further testing?
Apparently the frequency of this allele Mutation in the population is only 6 % . Am I jumping the gun here to be worried ?
I don't have hypermobilty but my sister does; no visible veins but my mother does; I've sublaxed my shoulder about 8 times leading to eventual surgery. I have slightly stretchy skin but it's not fragile. I also have the facial features of Vascular EDS....
I am worried lol.
