Disease-specific growth charts of Marfan syndrome in Korea

Results Korean MFS patients had similar height and weight compared with the general population at birth. However, linear growth curve of Korean MFS after two years of age showed that the 50th percentile of MFS is above the 97th percentile of normal in both genders. Regarding body mass, although the mean body weight of MFS patients was larger than that of the general population in males and females, the gap of the mean weight curve was small. In the Korean MFS growth curve, the growth pattern and final adult height were nearly analogous to those of the United States (US).
