    Area of Science:

    • Genetics and Molecular Biology
    • Cardiovascular Medicine
    • Ophthalmology
    • Orthopedics

    Context:

    • Marfan syndrome is a rare, autosomal dominant genetic disorder.
    • Connective tissue abnormalities impact multiple organ systems.
    • Cardiovascular complications, particularly aortic dissection, are the leading cause of premature death.

    Purpose:

    • To review the current understanding of Marfan syndrome.
    • To summarize etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment strategies.
    • To highlight the importance of timely diagnosis and management.

    Summary:

    • Marfan syndrome affects connective tissue, primarily impacting the cardiovascular system, skeleton, and eyes.
    • Genetic mutations in the FBN1 gene are the main cause.
