Does marfan syndrome affect the aorta?
Yes. Marfan syndrome is a congenital disorder affecting the formation of fibrillin. In Marfan syndrome, the abnormal fibrillin is responsible for many of the findings of the disease. Hyperextensibility/hyperelasticity of joints is one of the hallmark signs. Pectus excavatum is another. People with Marfan syndrome are typically very tall and thin, with very long fingers and toes (arachnodactyly). The fibrillin defect also affects the blood vessels, especially the large arteries, such as the aorta. Disordered fibrillin production causes these arteries to be weaker than normal, predisposing patients with Marfan syndrome to aortic dissections and rupture. This the major cause of death for patients with Marfan syndrome.
