What are the symptoms of Marfan Syndrome?

Two of my Grandsons have Marfan. I first went to ask their doctor about the fact that they were tall, and had bad posture. He discovered they have a twisted spine that causes the stoop, and they have since been tested for the other possible side effects of it.

If you think you have it, I strongly advise you to check with your doctor.

You can find info about it from the Marfan Foundation link I have provided below.

Exceedingly tall; very long hands and feet, long face.

mayoclinic.com, webmd.com

I have the Marfan Syndrome and the symptoms I have are more than I can list. Not always extremely tall tho, that is a mis-conception. I am 6'. Go to www.marfan.org. You can get your answers there. If you are interested in personal experiences or have specific questions, please feel free to contact me.
