Overview of Related Disorders
An overview of all genetic aorta conditions, their symptom overlaps with Marfan syndrome, discriminating features, and genes.
Summary of Diagnostic Criteria
The diagnosis of Marfan syndrome relies on a set of defined clinical criteria (the Ghent nosology) developed to facilitate accurate recognition of the syndrome and improve patient management and counseling.
Systemic Calculator Conditions (GenTAC)
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”.
