My younger sister (56, I am 58) has multiple myeloma, in addition to Ehlers-Danlos, fibromyalgia, Reyes Syndrome.....I have always been pretty healthy, although overweight, and she was an exercise addict before the cancer diagnosis. What are the chances I might also have or develop Ehlers-Danlos?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Since the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is an inherited disorder, you have 50% of chances to develop it. Genetic studies may help in understanding better if you have any mutant gene or not.
