My beginning essential question for my project is “What are the inheritance patterns of EDS and what determines it?”. I am interested in this disease because I know someone who has this and I thought it would be really cool to be able to understand it more, and get a better grasp on the effect it has on people. I also would like to know more about how it gets passed on and the trends of the number of people who have had it in the past, to now, and into the future.
