Abstract
Two siblings born to consanguineous Bedouin parents and grandparents are reported with the phenotypic features of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), type VI. In addition, the affected individuals have a polyneuropathy as confirmed by nerve conduction velocity, electromyographic and muscle biopsy studies. We propose that this clinical combination represents a distinct type of EDS.Keywords
