Fostering research about Loeys-Dietz syndrome
Providing a support network for individuals, parents, and families affected by Loeys-Dietz syndrome
Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) is a genetic disorder that affects the connective tissue in the body. The disorder was first observed and described by Dr. Bart Loeys and Dr. Hal Dietz at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 2005. Individuals with Loeys-Dietz syndrome exhibit a variety of medical features in the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, skin and gastrointestinal systems. Information about the natural history and management of individuals with LDS continues to evolve. LDS manifests itself in a number of ways; therefore, no two persons with LDS will have identical medical characteristics.
