Meester-Loeys Syndrome

Meester-Loeys syndrome is a very rare inherited connective tissue disorder caused by changes in the BGN gene on the X chromosome. It can widen and tear the main artery leaving the heart, and may also affect the face, skeleton, joints and skin, with boys usually more severely affected. Care involves regular heart and artery imaging, blood pressure lowering medicines and surgery to repair the aorta when needed.

This overview is general information, not an individual medical assessment. Research is selected automatically and may include mismatches. How we select and explain research.

Meester-Loeys Syndrome is very rare and little research has been published, so this page includes research from every year, including case reports about individual patients. Case reports are marked, and describe one person's experience rather than tested results.
