Loeys-Dietz Dietz syndrome (LDS)?
In particular
Loeys-Dietz Dietz 3 ( smad 3)
Edited to add: ( short - from wiki for simplicity )
Loeys–Dietz syndrome (LDS) is an autosomal dominant genetic connective tissue disorder. It has features similar to Marfan syndrome and Ehlers–Danlos syndrome.[3][4][5] The disorder is marked by aneurysms in the aorta, often in children, and the aorta may also undergo sudden dissection in the weakened layers of the wall of the aorta. Aneurysms and dissections also can occur in arteries other than the aorta.
