Alicia Schollmeyer, MSN, FNP-C, AOCNP, Clinical Genetics Nurse Practitioner at Willis Knighton Health, explains how genetics can help identify EDS subtypes, when testing is useful, and why hypermobile EDS relies on clinical criteria rather than a single gene. Learn about signs to watch for, how the EDS high-risk clinic coordinates care, and next steps for family screening and referrals.
