Does anyone understand this FA 2012 Errata?

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome

In column 3, note that type V collagen (not type III) is most commonly involved in classic Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. (being reviewed, subject to change)

Yeah, what is the correct answer. I think DIT said Type III is the most common collagen defect in Ehlers-Danlos, but now FA is saying Type V?

I think all you need to know is that Type III us most clinically significant for EDS.

Anything else after that is 270 territory.

According to 2013 FA, type III defects are most common causes of ED, but Type I and V are the most common defects in "severe classic" ED.
