Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a relatively common autosomal dominant disorder of connective tissue. It affects many parts of the body involving the skeletal, ocular, and cardiovascular systems. Cardiac manifestations are significant contributors to morbidity and mortality. MFS is caused by mutations in the gene for fibrillin-1.
