Marfan syndrome (also called Marfan's syndrome) is a genetic disorder primarily caused by mutations in the FBN1 fibrillin-1 gene.Wikipedia
Marfan syndrome is typically an autosomal dominant disorder, meaning that people who inherit only one copy of the Marfan FBN1 gene from either parent will develop Marfan syndrome and transmit it to their children. There is at least one example, however, of a recessively inherited mutation leading to Marfan syndrome (rs147195031).
Marfan syndrome has various expressions ranging from mild to severe: the most serious complications are defects of the heart valves and aorta. Additionally, it may affect the lungs, eyes, dural sac surrounding the spinal cord, the skeleton, and the hard palate. People with Marfan tend to be unusually tall, with long limbs and long, thin fingers.
