Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant condition with a reported incidence of 1 in 3000 to 5000 individuals and is one of the most common inherited disorders of connective tissue. While most MFS patients have an affected parent, around 15 – 30 percent have a de novo mutation. MFS is associated with a broad range of clinical symptoms and associated disorders, ranging from classic ocular, cardiovascular, and musculoskeletal abnormalities to manifestations including involvement of the lung, skin, and central nervous system.
