Connective tissue has many important functions, including the following: A defective (FBN1) gene associated with Marfan syndrome affects the formation of a protein in connective tissue called fibrillin, which impacts the integrity of many organs and structures in the body. Organs and body systems that can be impacted include, but are not limited to, the following:

    Extractions: Marfan Syndrome and Aortic Disease Additional Aorta-Related Resources from Cedars-Sinai Introduction to the Marfan Syndrome The Marfan syndrome is a connective tissue disorder affecting multiple areas of the human body to varying degrees. Connective tissue is prevalent throughout the body, and consequently areas such as the skeleton, skin, lungs, eyes, blood vessels and heart may all be impacted. Greater understanding of the underlying cause of this syndrome continues to emerge through genetic research currently in progress at various centers. While there is no cure for this condition at this time, continuous advancement in medical and surgical treatment options has increased both the length and quality of life of those affected by it. Back to Top The Marfan Syndrome and Aortic Disease The abnormal aortic tissue associated with Marfan syndrome is prone to aortic dissection or aneurysmal rupture, which are life threatening. Therefore, the single most important factor in the survival of Marfan syndrome patients is the safe and elective resection of the most vulnerable portion of the aorta, most commonly the aortic root.

Further Information What Is Marfan Syndrome? The Marfan Syndrome is an inherited disorder of connective tissue which affects many organ systems, including the skeleton, lungs, eyes, heart and blood vessels. This condition, first described by Dr Marfan in 1896, can affect both boys and girls of any race or ethnic group. It is estimated that over 5,000 people in the United Kingdom have Marfan Syndrome. A syndrome is a collection of physical features which, when they occur together, enable a physician to recognise a certain condition. Most affected people will not show all the signs and complications of Marfan Syndrome. Top of the page What Causes Marfan Syndrome?

Marfan Syndrome is an inheritable disorder of the connective tissue that affects many organ systems, including the skeleton, lungs, eyes, heart and blood vessels. The condition affects both men and women of any race or ethnic group. What medical problems are associated with Marfan Syndrome? The Cardiovascular System The most serious problems associated with Marfan Syndrome involve the cardiovascular system. The two leaflets of the mitral valve may billow backwards when the heart contracts (mitral valve prolapse). This can lead to leakage of the mitral valve or irregular heart rhythm. In addition, the aorta, the main artery carrying blood away from the heart, is generally wider and more fragile in patients with Marfan Syndrome. This widening is progressive and can cause leakage of the aortic valve or tears (dissection) in the aorta wall. When the aorta becomes greatly widened, or tears, surgical repair is necessary. The Skeleton Skeletal manifestations common in people with Marfan Syndrome include curvature of the spine (scoliosis), loose jointedness and disproportionate growth usually, but not always, resulting in tall stature.

    Extractions: Pectus excavatum and carinatum are just two of a huge collection of conditions resulting from disordered connective tissue formation. Connective tissue includes bone, cartilage, tendons, ligaments and elastic tissues, among others. When something goes wrong during formation, the resulting tissue lacks the qualities of either strength or elasticity it should have, and its growth may be quite abnormal. Although medical science has located genes where errors can occur resulting in connective tissue disorder no underlying circumstance that causes it to happen in the first place has been identified. Such disorders may affect just a few or many areas of the body at once. pectus as a symptom is Marfan Syndrome . It's suggested that Marfan may be present in one of every 5000 to 10,000 births. And if a parent has the condition, chances are 50/50 of a child having the same tendency. Certainly, while "isolated" PE or PC do indeed reflect a problem with connective tissue formation, not all people with pectus have the full range of other connective tissue changes that characterise Marfan. But because Marfan can involve weakness of major blood vessels, with a potential for rupture

    Extractions: Marfan syndrome is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. If a person is affected with Marfan syndrome, they face a 50% chance of passing on the disease with every pregnancy. In 1 in 4 of all cases of Marfan syndrome, the parents are not affected. In these cases, the condition arises in the affected person because of a spontaneous or new mutation in the egg or the sperm of one of the parents. The disorder is fully penetrant, meaning that unaffected relatives of a Marfan patient will not pass the disorder on to their children. What symptoms are involved?
