Green et al. (1966) found typical angioid streaks in 2 of 6 affected members

of a kindred with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (see 130000). Although the diagnosis

of both angioid streaks and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome seems unequivocal, the

association may have been coincidental because the association has not been

described by others (McKusick, 2002).
