Loeys-Dietz syndrome is a connective tissue disorder that was first described in 2005. Most individuals with this disorder have craniofacial features that include hypertelorism (widely spaced eyes) and a bifid or broad uvula.

Loeys–Dietz syndrome (LDS) is an autosomal dominant genetic connective tissue disorder. It has features similar to Marfan syndrome and Ehlers–Danlos syndrome. [3][4][5] The disorder is marked by aneurysms in the aorta, often in children, and the aorta may also undergo sudden dissection in the weakened layers of the wall of the aorta.

What is Loeys-Dietz syndrome? Loeys-Dietz (LOW-eez DEETS) syndrome is a rare connective tissue disease. A gene change or mutation causes the disease. Loeys-Dietz syndrome can affect many organs such as the heart, blood vessels, bones, eyes and skin, causing life-threatening problems. Cleveland Clinic is a non-profit academic medical center.

2008年2月28日 · Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) is characterized by vascular findings (cerebral, thoracic, and abdominal arterial aneurysms and/or dissections), skeletal manifestations (pectus excavatum or pectus carinatum, scoliosis, joint laxity, arachnodactyly, talipes equinovarus, and cervical spine malformation and/or instability), craniofacial features (hypert...

Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) is a genetic disorder that affects the connective tissue in the body. The disorder was first observed and described by Dr. Bart Loeys and Dr. Hal Dietz at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 2005. Since then, other groups around the world have described additional genetic causes of Loeys-Dietz syndrome.

Loeys–Dietz syndrome is a connective tissue disorder predisposing individuals to aortic and arterial aneurysms. Presenting with a wide spectrum of multisystem involvement, medical management for some individuals is complex.

What Is Loeys-Dietz Syndrome? Loeys-Dietz syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects connective tissue. Connective tissue protects, supports and gives structure to all other tissues and organs in the body. Most people with Loeys-Dietz syndrome inherit it, meaning it is passed down from parent to child.

2018年9月18日 · Loeys-Dietz syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by a genetic mutation (error) in one of five genes. These five genes are responsible for making receptors and other...

Loeys-Dietz syndrome is a connective tissue disorder that causes aortic aneurysms, widely spaced eyes (hypertelorism), cleft palate and/or split uvula (the little piece of flesh that hangs down in the back of the mouth) and twisting or spiraled arteries (arterial tortuosity).
