    Area of Science:

    • Genetics
    • Human Physiology
    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder affecting connective tissue.
    • Understanding its hereditary patterns is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • A genealogical tree demonstrated the hereditary transmission of Marfan syndrome within a Mexican family.
    • Clinical observations included characteristic long face, arachnodactyly, and reduced subcutaneous tissue.

    Findings:

    • Somatometric values were above normal percentiles for the Mexican population.
    • Patients exhibited low mass and height relative to arm and leg perimeters.
    • Ocular disorders such as bilateral ectopia lentis, myopia, and iridodonesis were prevalent.

    Implications:
