What Is Ehlers Danlos?
8. Prevention
The only way to be completely sure of not passing on Ehlers Danlos Syndrome is to refrain from having children altogether. People that have the condition, or have a history of it in the family, are more likely to pass it on. If those people do wish to have children, then it is advisable that they speak with a genetics expert first.
A genetics expert will be able to inform you of the risk the Ehlers Danlos will present to your children – if any at all. In some cases, the risk may be minimal and, even if it is passed in, the severity of the symptoms may only be very mild.
