Loeys-Dietz syndrome is a connective tissue disorder that was first described in 2005. Most individuals with this disorder have craniofacial features that include hypertelorism (widely spaced eyes) and a bifid or broad uvula. In a smaller percentage of individuals, craniosynostosis (premature fusion of the skull bones), cleft palate and/or club foot are noted. Almost 100% of patients show some type of abnormal skin findings including translucent skin, soft or velvety skin, easy bleeding, easy bruising, recurrent hernias, and scarring problems.
