If joe has the marfan syndrome and has a child some day what are the probaliblities that his chaild will have marfan?

There is a 100% probability of his child having Marfan's syndrome. The syndrome is carried by the FBN1 gene, and is dominant so there is no way to avoid having the disease. However the severity of it may vary from mild to severe, so his child may suffer from a mild form of the syndrome.

Who discovered the Marfan Syndrome?

Antione B. MarfanMarfan syndrome was first described by a French doctor named Antione B. Marfan, who reported that one of his patients, Gabrielle, had especially long fingers (he called this arachnodactyly, or spider-fingers), skeletal abnormalities (including arms that were disproportionately long), and high, arched pallets. He also noticed spine defects. Antione noted that these traits seemed to be inherited, and it is now certain that Marfan syndrome is a hereditary disorder, and the gene for it is autosomal dominant A dominant gene is one that will overwrite other genes so that only one is required for the trait that that particular gene carries to be expressed. A person who inherits a dominant gene from one parent will automatically have the trait that the gene produces, unlike with recessive genes in which a gene for the trait must be inherited from each parent for the trait to show. Autosomal means that the gene is on a non-sex chromosome. There are 46 chromosomes in every human cell, and they make 23 pairs, each one connected by a centrome. The 23rd pair consists of the sex chromosomes.The gene for Marfan syndrome is located on chromosome fifteen. This gene causes the occurrence of too many microfibrillar fibers in the connective tissue, which results in a lack of flexibility in the body's tissues.Marfan syndrome almost always occurs as an inherited trait (about 75% of the time), but it can sometimes show up spontaneously in a person from a family that has never shown any signs of the disorder. Marfan syndrome, because it is dominant, will not skip generations (a recessive gene can be passed on without showing up for many generations, because two are needed for the trait to show, but if a dominant gene is going to show up, it will do so right away). Marfan syndrome has a 50% chance of being passed on to the children of an affected person. If the gene for Marfan syndrome is passed on, it will invariably show up, but the degree to which it shows its symptoms varies considerably, even within a family.Skeletal abnormalities that have been noticed in Marfan patients are a long face, an unusually tall stature, a short upper body in comparison to the lower body (because they have a short ribcage), and overgrown ribs. The latter results in chest deformities such as Pectus Excavatum (funnel chest) or Pectus Carnatum (pigeon breast). A wide pelvis, elongated skull, and prominent shoulder blades are other symptomsOne of the most distinctive characteristics of Marfan's Syndrome is unusually long arms, fingers, and toes. These skeletal problems can show up in either childhood or adolescence, and sometimes they do not show up at all Extremely mobile joints are another common characteristic.A good many patients have eye problems, like dislocated lenses, severe nearsightedness, iridodensis (a quivering motion of the iris), cataracts, detaching retinas, and glaucoma.The life-threatening risk to Marfan syndrome is that the aorta can grow to be too large, develop weak spots (aneurysms) and then tear (dissect). Without surgery, a person can die.People with Marfan's Syndrome often suffer from various lung problems as well.For more information www.marfan.org


How do people get tall?

It depends. If you have the genes or your family is Tall, you might grow taller like them. I know that women's stop growing at the age of 18 and men at the age of 21:)
