What Is Hypermobility Syndrome?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
7. Medical Causes
It is not common, but hypermobility syndrome is sometimes caused by other medical conditions. One of these is the relatively common Down syndrome that can cause significant development issues in patients. Another is Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which is a condition that affects the elasticity of the patient’s ligaments.
There is also cleidocranial dysostosis, which is a disorder that affects the development of our bones, and Marfan syndrome, which is a disorder of our connective tissues. It can also be caused by a disorder that affects the metabolism, known as Morquio syndrome. While it may not be possible to cure the underlying cause, the symptoms at least can often be treated.
