Marfan syndrome, type I (MFS1; MIM 154700) is an autosomal dominantly inherited disorder potentially affecting numerous organ sites. These include: the bones, eyes, lungs, skin, CNS and cardiovascular system. The most serious consequence of Marfan syndrome is due to the progressive dilatation of the aortic root and the consequent potential for dissection. MFS1 is caused by mutations in the FBN1 gene.read more
