Marfan syndrome is found in 1 in every 5,000 - 10,000 births. If one of your parents has Marfan syndrome, you have a 50% chance of having Marfan syndrome.
Gene therapy is being explored as a potential treatment for Marfan syndrome, as it has the potential to correct the underlying genetic mutation that causes the condition. However, further research is needed to determine its safety and efficacy before it can become a standard treatment option for Marfan syndrome.
Yes, Marfan syndrome is autosomal dominant.
Marfan Syndrome is a medical problem with the Conective Tissue.
Some of the effects on a person with Marfan's syndrome might be that they would have bad eyesight, they would be abnormally tall (7ft), they might also have a long face and loose joints.
Marfan's syndrome is not contagious. A person can only get it by inheriting it from a parent.
No. Down is caused by an extra chromosome while Marfan is due to a mutation in one or more genes.
Marfan Syndrome is also known as Marfan's disease and hereditary connective tissue disorder. In some contexts, it may be referred to as Marfan syndrome type I or simply as a connective tissue disorder. However, the most common and widely recognized name remains Marfan Syndrome.
They cant exercise as vigorously as someone without Marfan syndrome
flat feet an sinked chest are some symptomes of marfan syndrome
Marfan syndrome is not naturally found in animals. However, researchers have created mice with Marfan syndrome in laboratories for the purpose of testing medications on them before conducting human trials.
The etiology of marfan syndrome would be the mutations in the protein FBN1 in the gene chromosome 15.
