Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the body's connective tissue, which provides support and structure to various tissues and organs. This condition is caused by mutations in the FBN1 gene, which encodes a protein called fibrillin-1. Individuals with Marfan syndrome may experience a range of symptoms, including tall stature, long limbs, joint hypermobility, and cardiovascular issues such as aortic aneurysms. Treatment typically focuses on managing symptoms and monitoring for potential complications.
