Ophthalmology Home Search Eye Findings in Marfan's syndrome Author: Mirelle Langier Benchimol Ophthalmology Resident - The Federal University of Rio de Janeiro - Brazil Marfan's Syndrome is a heritable disorder of connective tissue with characteristic skeletal, cardiovascular, and ocular manifestations. Dislocation of the lens is a frequent finding.Since the syndrome is inherited in an autossomal dominant fashion with a high degree of penetrance, other family members are frequently found to be affected. In the classic form, Marfan's syndrome is characterized by the following: Cardiac anomalies such as aneurysms of the ascending aorta and aortic regurgitation. Skeletal anomalies in which the patient's limbs are long compared with the trunk. Arachnodactyly, pectus deformities, mild joint laxity and high arched palate are also seen.Muscular underdevelopment, leading to a high incidence of hernias. The characteristic eye findings in Marfan's syndrome include: Lens subluxation, angle anomaly, glaucoma, hypoplasia of dilator muscle, axial myopia and retinal detachment. Subluxation of the lens is the most common ocular abnormality (fig1.), wich is bilateral, symetrical, and upward is present in 80% of cases. The dislocation may be complete, with the lens floating free within the vitreous cavity.Iridodonesis(tremulousness of the iris) may occur from nonsupport of the overlying iris by the lens.

Symptoms Diagnosis Expected Duration ... Additional Info What Is It? Marfan's syndrome is a genetic (inherited) disorder that affects the body's connective tissue. Connective tissue is the tough, fibrous, elastic tissue that connects one part of the body with another, and forms much of the structural support for other body tissues. It is a major component of tendons, ligaments, bones, cartilage and the walls of large blood vessels. In Marfan's syndrome, a mutation (alteration) in a gene causes a defect in the body's production of fibrillin, an important building block of connective tissue. A gene is a segment of DNA that directs production of a particular body protein. In many families with inherited Marfan's syndrome, the mutation affects the FBN1 gene on chromosome 15, although a second gene on chromosome 5 may be involved in some cases.
