Marfan's syndrome

Whether the aneurysm is part of a genetic problem, such as Marfan's syndrome.

Marfan's Syndrome is not required to have an aortic dissection.

Marfan's syndrome is a dominant characteristic, and sufferers have a 50% chance of passing it on to their children.

In persons with Marfan's syndrome, the wall of the aorta weakens and stretches.

Marfan's syndrome, unlike Froelich's, does not result in any lack of intelligence or sterility.

Two years after leading that team to a gold medal, Hyman died of Marfan's syndrome.

Rothschild's health problems were exacerbated by Marfan's syndrome, a genetic abnormality.

Cardiac defects are similar to those associated with Marfan's syndrome, a disorder of the connective tissue.

Inherited conditions such as Marfan's syndrome.

Treatment for Marfan's syndrome includes treating specific problems related to the connective tissue disease, such as heart problems.

Autoimmune diseases, Marfan's syndrome, or endocarditis can cause aortic insufficiency.

Rheumatic fever and Marfan's syndrome are other typical causes of mitral regurgitation.

People with Marfan's syndrome tend to be tall and thin with long arms, legs, fingers, and toes.

It is thought that Conan Doyle was among the first to describe an inherited disease now known as Marfan's syndrome.

Because of problems with their connective tissues, people with Marfan's syndrome are at risk of:

Marfan syndrome (also called Marfan's syndrome) is a genetic disorder of the connective tissue.

Other associated defects in elastin include Marfan's Syndrome and emphysema caused by α-antitrypsin deficiency.

Doctors later discovered Hyman's brother had Marfan's Syndrome as well, and he underwent an open heart surgery afterwards.

Another related theory is that Akhenaten may have suffered from a rare genetic disorder known as Marfan's Syndrome.

Beals syndrome has only recently been described as a syndrome distinct from Marfan's Syndrome.

Another suggestion by Burridge is that Akhenaten may have suffered from Marfan's Syndrome.

Many chromosomal disorders can cause abnormal growth patterns (for example the short stature of achondroplasia and the tall stature in Marfan's syndrome).

People who have Marfan's syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, or another condition that puts them at risk may benefit from screening.

Conditions such as Marfan's syndrome and Down syndrome may result in craniofacial abnormalities and increase the risk for sleep apnea.

Either Marfan's syndrome or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome can damage the connective tissue in the middle of the aortic wall.
