Know the Signs, Fight for Victory
We compiled the 2010 Revised Ghent Nosology for Marfan Syndrome into a simple diagnostic tool to put the updated criteria right in your hands. It is designed for all healthcare professionals involved in the diagnosis of Marfan syndrome, including general practitioners and specialists such as pediatricians, cardiologists, orthopedists, ophthalmologists, and geneticists.
Clinical manifestations of MFS in other organ systems were critically evaluated for their specificity and diagnostic utility based on expert opinion and the available literature. Several of the “minor” criteria from the old Ghent nosology were eliminated, but the most selective systemic features were included in the “systemic score”.
