PURPOSE: In a large cohort of 373 pediatric patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS) with a severe cardiovascular phenotype, we explored the proportion of patients with MFS with a pathogenic FBN1 variant and analyzed whether the type/location of FBN1 variants was associated with specific clinical characteristics and response to treatment. Patients were recruited on the basis of the following criteria: aortic root...
