Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) comprises a group of overlapping hereditary disorders of connective tissue with significant morbidity and mortality, including major vascular complications. We sought to identify the diagnostic utility of a next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel in a mixed EDS cohort. METHODS: We developed and applied PCR-based NGS assays for targeted, unbiased sequencing of 12 collagen and...
