Marfan syndrome

Marfan syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder affecting connective tissue, caused by an abnormal production of the protein fibrillin-1, caused by a mutation in the FBN1 gene located on chromosome 15. This condition causes alterations in the eyes, bones, heart, blood vessels, lungs, and central nervous system.
