=__ MARFAN'S SYNDROME __= by: cvmbmpd4-rw and cvmbmpd4-tw __**Causes**__ Marfan Syndrome is caused by an autosomal dominant inherited trait on chromosome 15, although there are a few cases of Marfan's Syndrome being caused by a random mutation. Here, the gene for fibrillin is defected. Fibrillin is an important protein that is needed to help build the elastic tissue in your body, such as your blood vessel walls, eyes, tendons and ligaments, and lungs. __**Symptoms and Diagnosis**__ People with Marfan's Syndrome are usually very tall, with long arms and legs, and have skinny and long fingers and toes. A more curved spine, nearsightedness and indented or protruding breast bone can also occur because of this disorder. Heart problems are very common

The syndrome is diagnosed when a person has signs of classical weakness in two systems, such as heart, eyes, or skeleton. Diagnosis is made based on family history and physical examination, which include slit lamp examination or a echocardiogram. __** Prognosis **__ Most people can lead normal lives with Marfan's Syndrome, but when they go in for doctor's appointments more tests will have to be run on them. Afflicted people can particitpate in most physical and recreational activities, although one's who have serious heart problems should aviod sports with physical contact, very competative and fast paced team sports, or isometrics, such as weight lifting. The only possibilities of death because of Marfan's Syndrome would be because of heart problems that occur in serious cases. __** Treatment **__ Treatment varies with person, and by the severity of the disorder and the joints involved. Most people can live without much medical needs, although annual cardiologist appointments are required because of heart problems. Heart surgires may also be required to strengthen the tissue around the heart to keep it from bursting in the most severe cases. __** Occurence  **__ Marfan's Syndrome affects 1 in 10,000 to 20,000 people and is found in all races and ethnicities. **__ Mar-Fun Facts __** Famous people who are believed to have Marfan's Syndrome include Abraham Lincoln, Julius Caesar, along with Osama bin Laden.
