We describe 5 patients who presented with musculoskeletal abnormalities in the neonatal period. All patients were initially suspected to have Larsen syndrome or Beals syndrome but were subsequently diagnosed with a TGFBR2 mutation diagnostic of Loeys-Dietz syndrome. Patients had progressive aortic enlargement, which necessitated surgical intervention for 3 patients and resulted in the death of 1 patient. Delay in diagnosis of Loeys-Dietz syndrome may be associated with adverse prognosis.
我们描述了5例在新生儿期出现肌肉骨骼异常的患者。所有患者最初都被怀疑患有拉森综合征或比尔斯综合征,但随后被诊断出患有TGFBR2突变,确诊为洛伊斯-迪茨综合征。患者主动脉逐渐增粗,3例患者需要进行手术干预,1例患者死亡。洛伊斯-迪茨综合征诊断延迟可能与不良预后相关。
