Summary

This study looked at 39 children aged 4 to 18 with Marfan or Loeys-Dietz syndromes to see if their specific gene changes were linked to differences in face and jaw shape. Researchers used dental X-rays to measure bone positions and compared groups based on their genetic variants. The goal was to help orthodontists better plan treatments for these patients.
