Abstract

Marfan’s syndrome is a genetic disorder of the connective tissue. People with Marfan’s tend to be unusually tall, with long limbs and long, thin fingers. The syndrome is inherited as a autosomal dominant trait, carried by the gene FBN1, which encodes the connective protein fibrillin-1.

Key words: Marfan’s syndrome; Connective tissue disorder; FBN1; Fibrillin-1.
