Background-The associations of age and sex with phenotypic features of Marfan syndrome have not been systematically examined in a large cohort of both children and adults.Methods and Results-We evaluated 789 Marfan patients enrolled in the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute GenTAC (Genetically Triggered Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms and Cardiovascular Conditions) Registry (53% male; mean age 31 [range: 1-86 years]). Females aged >= 15 and males aged >= 16 years were considered adults based on average age of skeletal maturity. Adults (n=606) were more likely than children (n=183) likely to have spontaneous pneumothorax, scoliosis, and striae but were comparable in revised Ghent systemic score, ectopia lentis, and most phenotypic features, including prevalence of aortic root dilatation. Prophylactic aortic root replacement and mitral valve surgery were rare during childhood versus adulthood (2% versus 35% and 1% versus 9%, respectively, both P
