Recently in 2017, some subtypes of EDS were re-categorized. EDS type 3 was one of those, was re-categorized, and it is now known as hypermobility EDS. So this form of EDS is the most common form. Unlike other forms of EDS, this is the common form that we don't have any genetic teachings or testing markers for at all. So diagnosis is based currently around symptoms, medical history, and physical examinations.
