Abstract excerpt
Loeys-Dietz syndrome is a rare connective tissue disorder characterized by life-threatening aortic aneurysm and distinctive craniofacial anomalies. It is caused by mutations along the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) signaling pathway (LDS1-6). We previously showed that craniofacial anomalies varied among LDS subtypes and that LDS2, caused by mutations in the TGFBR2 gene, exhibited the most severe and...
