Description : The Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) is an autosomal dominant aortic aneurysm syndrome with
widespread systemic involvement. As defined by Loeys et al. (2006), the disorder is
characterized by the triad of arterial tortuosity and aneurysms, hypertelorism, and
bifid uvula or cleft palate. Patients with LDS type 1 have craniofacial involvement
consisting of cleft palate, craniosynostosis, or hypertelorism. Patients with LDS
type 2 do not have these findings, but some have a bifid uvula. The natural history
of both types is characterized by aggressive arterial aneurysms and a high rate of
pregnancy-related complications. - Genetic Heterogeneity of Loeys-Dietz Syndrome LDS1A
