822 top medical experts on Marfan Syndrome across 42 countries and 38 U.S. states, including 740 MDs (Physicians). This is based on an objective analysis of their Scientific Publications, Clinical Trials, Medicare, and NIH Grants.

  1. Marfan Syndrome: An autosomal dominant disorder of connective tissue with abnormal features in the heart, the eye, and the skeleton. Cardiovascular manifestations include mitral valve prolapse, dilation of the aorta, and aortic dissection. Other features include lens displacement (ectopia lentis), disproportioned long limbs and enlarged dura mater (dural ectasia). Marfan syndrome (type 1) is associated with mutations in the gene encoding fibrillin-1 (FBN1), a major element of extracellular microfibrils of connective tissue. Mutations in the gene encoding type II TGF-beta receptor (tgfbr2) are associated with Marfan syndrome type 2.
  2. Clinical guidelines are the recommended starting point to understand initial steps and current protocols in any disease or procedure:
  3. Broader Categories (#Experts): Inborn Genetic Diseases (2,477), Connective Tissue Diseases (1,572), Congenital Heart Defects (4,797), Developmental Bone Diseases (4,620), Multiple Abnormalities (3,208).
  4. Clinical Trials ClinicalTrials.gov : at least 42 including 1 Active, 19 Completed, 8 Recruiting
  5. Synonyms: Marfan Like Connective Tissue Disorder,  Marfan Syndrome Type 1,  Marfan Syndrome Type 2,  Type II Marfan Syndrome
