Text: The Asian MFS population (n = 49) had a smaller body surface area (BSA : 1. 8 m vs. 2. 0 m, P < 0. 001), a more severely affected aortic root (absolute aortic diameter : 42. 9 mm vs. 43. 3 mm, P = 0. 802 ; corrected for BSA : 24. 9 mm vs. 21. 7 mm, P < 0. 001 ; Z-score : 4. 5 vs. 3. 6, P = 0. 013), and more often a positive systemic score (75. 5 % vs. 60. 0 %, P = 0. 045), but less frequently ectopia lentis (24. 5 % vs. 48. 1 %, P = 0. 004) compared with the Caucasian population (n = 206).
