Key result
A 7-year-old boy was diagnosed with Loeys-Dietz syndrome type 2, confirmed by a novel heterozygous mutation in the TGFBR2 gene, highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary management.
Why the study?
Information on the frequency of Loeys-Dietz syndrome and algorithms for patient examination and treatment were lacking in modern literature.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights the importance of genetic testing and multidisciplinary monitoring for patients with Loeys-Dietz syndrome to prevent severe cardiovascular complications like aortic dissection.
