Purpose: Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a connective tissue disorder caused by mutations in the fibrillin-1 ( (FBN1). In addition to typical phenotypes such as ectopia lentis (EL) and aortic dilation, patients with MFS are prone to ocular posterior segment abnormalities, including retinal detachment (RD), maculopathy, and posterior staphyloma (PS). This study aims to investigate the correlations between FBN1 genotype and posterior segment abnormalities within a Chinese cohort of MFS. Design: Retrospective study. Participants: One hundred twenty-one eyes of 121 patients with confirmed FBN1 mutations between January 2015 and May 2023 were included. Methods: Comprehensive ophthalmic examination findings were reviewed, and the incidence of RD, atrophic, tractional, and neovascular maculopathy (ATN classification system), and PS was analyzed between different genotype groups. Only the more severely affected eye from each patient was included. Main Outcome Measures: Clinical features and risk factors. Results: Of 121 patients, 60 eyes (49.59%) exhibited posterior segment abnormalities, including RD (4, 3.31%), maculopathy (47, 38.84%), and PS (54, 44.63%). The mean age was 11.53 ± 11.66 years, with 79.34% of patients |
