3 Turner Syndrome (45 Xo) SUNDAY Prevalence: 1:2500 live female births Karyotype: 45, X or mosaic 46, XX Chromosome: X Gene/Protein: reduced complement of genes typically expressed from both X chromosomes : Cardiovascular (coarctation, BAV, arch elongation, root dilatation, hypoplastic left heart, PAPVR) Gonadal (ovarian failure) MSK (short stature) Renal (horseshoe kidney) Circulatory (cystic hygroma, lymphedema webbed neck) Turner Syndrome (45 Xo) Turner Syndrome (45 Xo) Infants/Children: echo or MRI to detect BAV, coarctation, ascending aortic dilation If normal and no risk factors for dissection, imaging every 5-10yrs or as clinically indicated If cardiac or thoracic abnormalities annual imaging In patients with short stature, normal root diameters do not apply If severe coarctation presents at infancy Surgery Critical aortic stenosis (minority of cases) Surgery BAV (present in 13-34% 34% of patients) surveillance and endocarditis prophylaxis Ehlers-Danlos Type IV Ehlers-Danlos Type IV Prevalence: 1:10-25k ( 4% of all EDS) Inheritance: AD Chromosome: 2q24.3-q31 Gene/Protein: COL3A1/Type III collagen : Vascular (arterial aneurysms, dissection and spontaneous rupture) Connective tissues (translucent skin, easy bruising) MSK (absence of joint hypermobility) Visceral (rupture, perforation)

4 SUNDAY Ehlers-Danlos Type IV No imaging follow-up consensus Non-invasive modalities: ultrasound, MR or CTA may help to identify aneurysms, dissections and vascular ruptures Invasive angiography risk of procedure related vascular complication at catheter entry site. Prevalence: Rare Inheritance: AD Chromosome: 3p24-25, 25 9q Gene/Protein: TGF1, TGF2 Surgical repair limited to emergent cases (elective repair discouraged due to poor outcomes relating to tissue friability) Vascular (vessel tortuosity, root dilatation, Dissection occur at smaller diameters that Marfan) Craniofacial (hypertelorism, bifid uvula, cleft palate) MSK (pectus) Complete aortic imaging at initial diagnosis and 6 months Echo at frequent intervals to monitor ascending Ao diameter Frequency of MRA/CTA of the entire arterial tree (head to pelvis) depends d on symptoms half of individuals with LDS studied had an aneurysm distant from the aortic root Surgical repair in adolescents and adults when maximal aortic dimension i approaches 4.0cm Surgical repair in children when max dimension exceeds the 99 th percentile and annulus > cm Complete aortic imaging at initial diagnosis and 6 months Echo at frequent intervals to monitor ascending Ao diameter Frequency of MRA/CTA of the entire arterial tree (head to pelvis) depends d on symptoms half of individuals with LDS studied had an aneurysm distant from the aortic root Surgical repair in adolescents and adults when maximal aortic dimension i approaches 4.0cm Surgical repair in children when max dimension exceeds the 99 th percentile and annulus > cm

6 SUNDAY Additional Recommendations References If there is a known family history, or confirmed genetic mutation known to predispose to aortic aneurysms and dissections (TGFBR1, TGFBR2, FBN1, ACTA2, or MYH11), imaging of the entire aorta and cerebrovascular systems should be considered 1.
