French national reference center for non-vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (NV EDS)
The constitutive pediatric site for non-vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (NV EDS), located at the Necker-Enfants malades hospital, was created at the end of 2017 to respond to a growing demand for diagnosis and care for this group of pathologies in pediatric setting. This constitutive site offers dedicated consultations in genetics, joint consultations in physical medicine – rehabilitation and genetics, consultations dedicated to the EDS theme within the palliative medicine / pain unit and consultations available with dedicated correspondents for the possible treatment in other medical and surgical specialties, in particular in orthopedics, dermatology, pneumology and cardiology. It is associated with the adult constitutive site for the NV EDS, located in Garches – Dr Karelle Bénistan – already existing before 2017.
These two constitutive sites were integrated into the constitutional bone diseases (MOC) CRMR, taking into account the similarities between the 2 groups of pathologies in terms of management and the specialties involved. They are affiliated with the OSCAR rare diseases healthcare network and with the BOND and ReCONNET European reference networks (ERN).

Declarations of interest
For the sake of transparency, prevention and management of conflicts of interest, all participants in the development of a PNDS (coordinator (s), writer (s), members of the working group) must complete a declaration of interest. Declarations of interests are analyzed and taken into account, in order to avoid conflicts of interest, in accordance with the HAS guide « Guide to declarations of interest and management of conflicts of interest ».
