Marfan Syndrome: Public Education

Abstract
Marfan Syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the body’s connective tissue, which provides structure and support to the skin, bones, blood vessels, and organs. This article explains the condition in detail, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and management. Marfan Syndrome is caused by mutations in the FBN1 gene, which affects the production of a protein called fibrillin-1, essential for connective tissue health. By addressing the challenges of Marfan Syndrome and exploring available treatments such as beta-blockers and angiotensin receptor blockers (like losartan), this article serves as a complete resource for patients, families, and caregivers.
