Table 3.

Patients with no clinically relevant variant in genes known to cause Marfan syndrome and related disorders.

Patient # Age at evaluation (years) Gender Revised Ghent criteria Cardiac/vascular manifestations Ocular features Systemic score Clinical diagnosis (pre-test)
46 15 Male Negative Tricuspid and mitral valve prolapse with regurgitation Myopia Negative MASS phenotype
47a 15 Female Negative Tricuspid and mitral valve prolapse with regurgitations Absent Negative Mitral valve prolapse syndrome
48 22 Male Negative Thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysm Absent Negative Aortopathy
49 16 Female Negative Mitral valve prolapse regurgitation Absent Negative MASS phenotype
50 13 Female Negative Myxomatous mitral valve with regurgitation Absent Negative Mitral valve prolapse syndrome
51 18 Male Negative Myxomatous mitral valve with regurgitation Absent Positive MASS phenotype
52b,c 2 Male Negative Mild aortic root dilatation with ventricular septal defect Absent Negative Aortopathy with facial dysmorphism
52’s brotherc 2 Male Negative Absent Absent Negative MASS phenotype
53d 15 Female Negative Arteritis Absent Positive Marfanoid disorder

Revised Ghent criteria ‘negative’ indicates non-fulfillment. Systemic score ‘positive’ indicates systemic involvement (score ≥ 7) and ‘negative’ suggests no systemic involvement (score < 7).

MASS phenotype Mitral valve, Aorta, Skin, and Skeletal features.

aPatient 47 had poor scholastic performance.

bPatient 52 had developmental delay.

cThe difference in the phenotypes of patient 52 and his brother could suggest variable expression.

dPatient 53 had microtia and perauricular tag.
