Ehlers Danlos syndrome with a likely monogenic cause
Gene: FLNA
Cardiac valvular disease phenotype is not considered a strong enough overlap with connective tissue disorders for it to be included on this panel. It is green on FTAAD and familial non-syndromic congenital heart disease panels which seem more appropriate.Created: 25 Jul 2017, 1:05 p.m.
Cardiac valvular dysplasia, X-linked;314400.

Mode of inheritance
X-LINKED: hemizygous mutation in males, biallelic mutations in females
Review from Dr Anthony Vandersteen, IWK Health centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia 'fits better into PVNH syndrome rather than EDS, so should go into cortical dysplasia panel (the most expressed phenotype in those families), it is in some Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD) panels in the US but is primarily neurological phenotype.'
