Do clinical features differ substantially between Caucasian and Asian populations of Marfan syndrome?
The Ghent criteria do not necessarily apply to Asian MFS populations, resulting in a more severely affected cardiovascular system. This may be related to under diagnosis of MFS by multiple factors, including the use of Z-score, and genetic and racial differences. The Ghent criteria should be adapted for Asian populations in order to accurately diagnose MFS.
