Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) type IV is a rare and catastrophic genetic disorder of the connective tissue. Individuals from two families with this disorder were studied for a restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) associated with the COL3A1 gene. Our results suggested cosegregation of the E
