Presentation
Abstract Objective: To describe the presenting features of Weill-Marchesani syndrome Case: A 22-year-old man presented with high myopia and progressive visual disturbance. He was of short stature and had brachydactyly. [nepjol.info]
Both patients presented with increasing myopia and advanced glaucomatous damage. Laser iridotomy was ineffective in deepening the anterior chamber. The first patient developed a flat anterior chamber after trabeculectomy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Case presentation A 30-year-old female presented at our hospital with blurred vision in her left eye for the past year. [bmcophthalmol.biomedcentral.com]
We present two families each with affected individuals in 3 generations demonstrating autosomal dominant inheritance of Weill-Marchesani syndrome. Linkage analysis in these 2 families suggests a gene for Weill-Marchesani syndrome maps to 15q21.1. [ohsu.pure.elsevier.com]

Regurgitation
Echocardiography showed a mitral valve velocity of 0.7 m/s (2 mmHg), grade I mitral regurgitation and moderate tricuspid valve regurgitation. His mitral valve annulus diameter was 16 mm. [academic.oup.com]

Methionine Increased
The cardinal biochemical features of homocystinuria are markedly increased concentrations of plasma homocystine, total homocysteine, and methionine; increased concentration of urine homocystine; and reduced cystathionineβ-synthase (CBS) enzyme activity [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Physical therapy and orthopedic treatments are generally prescribed for problems stemming from mobility from this connective tissue disorder. [en.wikipedia.org]

Prognosis
Treatment and Prognosis Eye surgery has been documented to help those with ocular diseases, such as some forms of glaucoma. [1] However, long term medical management of glaucoma has not proven to be successful for patients with Weill-Marchesani syndrome [wikidoc.org]

The prognosis is influenced by the type and localization of the protein. The family history is inconspicuous in about 25% of established cases of MFS1. These are new mutations. [aerzteblatt.de]
[…] of choice in early cases of Weill–Marchesani syndrome with narrow angles in which the lens is neither cataractous nor subluxated, especially in patients with pupillary block. 12 Early iridectomy has few complications and may often improve the visual prognosis [healio.com]
Etiology
As ectopia lentis may be the first sign of a more serious systemic disease, it is important to determine the etiology for appropriate patient management. [eyewiki.aao.org]
Prevention
Managment includes Laser peripheral iridectomy in all cases to prevent pupillary block glaucoma and Miotics are recommended to prevent anterior dislocation of lens. Image courtesy: mrcophth.com [simplyeye.net]
Complete lack of zonular support prevented an attempt to leave the peripheral capsule in place, and a large core vitrectomy was performed. On the next day, the IOP was 14 mm Hg, the anterior chamber was deep, and the IOL was well centered. [healio.com]
Brachydactyly and stiff joints prevent patients from making a tight fist. A few patients (13%) have some mild mental deficit but most have normal intelligence. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
As she was a monocular patient, we tried to lower the IOP immediately to prevent further damage to the optic nerve and preserve her remaining vision. [bmcophthalmol.biomedcentral.com]
