Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - vEDS patients with a known pathogenic or VOUS class IV variant in the COL3A1 gene. - relatives of these patients who have been tested positive for the familial variant.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Specify clinical phenotype: a database is made containing specific features which will be assessed per patient. Genotype-/fenotype correlations: correlate type of mutation to the fenotype using the same database. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. reasons for referral for genetic analysis; 2. all mutations detected in the diagnostics lab; 3. the 2017 revised diagnostic criteria; are they sensitive enough to detect the patients in our cohort?; 4. overall time to first vascular/rupture event; 5. overall survival; 6. milder phenotype in mutations resulting in haploinsufficiency; 7. FTAAD phenotype; 8. non-penetration; 9. uptake of pre-symptomatic testing in relatives; 10. prenatal diagnostics (PND)/pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT) performed; 11. pregnancy complications in mutation carriers, evaluate whether inclusion of untested females at 50% risk is feasible in risk calculation. | — |
