Mitral valve prolapse is the valvular disorder thought to have an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern and is associated with connective tissue disease, such as Marfan syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

Tricuspid stenosis and tricuspid valve prolapse are less common than mitral valve prolapse, while aortic insufficiency is typically associated with a bicuspid aortic valve or rheumatic fever.
