Hi, hi, can understand your concerns. Ehler danlos syndrome can present with mental retardation, deafness, and cataract. Since your child has a above symptoms like hypermobility and mental retardation. She should be investigated for this syndrome. Diagnostic test include collagen gene mutation testing, and DNA studies.
