Marfan Syndrome Overview and Criteria by skybaby1206 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Marfan Syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by features such as long limbs, lens dislocation, and aortic dissection, with an incidence of 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 50,000. Diagnosis is based on Ghent criteria, which include major and minor manifestations across various organ systems, particularly the skeletal, ocular, and cardiovascular systems. Genetic testing has identified mutations in the FBN1 gene, and treatment often involves beta-blockers to manage cardiovascular risks.
