Core Tip	Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) consists of a group of connective tissue disorders involving both autosomal dominant and recessive inheritance patterns often involving collagen genes with variants readily detectable using disease-specific gene panels with next-generation sequencing. A 55 year-old male is reported with features of a connective tissue disorder. He had a heart transplant at 43 years of age. He was found to have a COL5A1 gene variant (c:605T7A; p.I1e102Asn) causing classic EDS. He is brought to medical attention for consideration of a genetic cause of cardiac failure including EDS in other patients and complications of surgery which may occur.
