F female; M male; involve involvement; np not performed; arr aortic root replacement; homh mutation; Z-score related to body surface area and age according to Roman et al. (Roman et al., 1989); 1) aortic root measurement at the age of 14 years just before aortic root replacement; replacement; 2) no exact measurement available; 3) recurrent inguinal hernias during a period member or the presence of a pathogenic FBN1 mutation.
