Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, periodontal type 2 is a rare form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome that may affect the tissues in the periodontium, which support the teeth, along with other connective tissues in the body. This condition has been represented in medical databases, including OMIM, which lists it under the identifier OMIM:617174. While a detailed definition is not available in the provided sources, information about this condition points to its genetic basis and connection to other forms of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Research into its underlying mechanisms and clinical features continues, contributing to a better understanding over time.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, periodontal type 2 is linked to genetic changes, specifically involving the C1S gene. This gene plays a role in certain biological processes and its alteration is associated with this rare condition. Further research may help clarify the specific ways in which mutations in C1S contribute to the condition.
