The revised Ghent nosology for the Marfan syndrome

TL;DR: A revised Ghent nosology is established, which puts more weight on the cardiovascular manifestations and in which aortic root aneurysm and ectopia lentis are the cardinal clinical features and may delay a definitive diagnosis of MFS but will decrease the risk of premature or misdiagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
