Anyone who's good at searching for stuff? Can u help? I tried looking it up, but I keep getting the same stuff. I don't know what else to try...

Did you google it? I did and a whole bunch of stuff came up. I think you'll find all you need there.

Many times if you need to search a subject you need to punch in research (your subject) research.

Marfan syndrome. ..Haven't heard that in awhile, it is sometimes associated with genetic disorders like homocyctenaria. It's becoming more prevelent in societies with compromised heart/blood vessels. It just means a large (over genetic forebearance), person. This can be concerning due to taxation of heart and vessels that tend to build up platlets along vessel walls.

Have you talked to your friend about this? They'll most likely be willing to share and kind of complimented that someone shows enough interest to ask.

Hope this has been helpful.

I'm not sure where klem got his info but what I read about it was a connective tissue disorder that usually results in being taller than normal and ir many other symptoms form mild to severe. Look in the national marfan foundation website at www.Marfan.Org/

Thank u. I know I can ask him about it, he always tells me I can ask anything, but I just want to bring it up at the right time, not just out of the blue. But thank u for the info. Hopefully i'll be able to understand it a bit more now.

:) hi there just had to replay to your post I to have a son who has marfan syndrome and he is fit and healthly and is 6feet 4in tall and it does not bother him at all the only thing he has to do is get an ecg every two years to check his heart is okay and apart from that he has a bit of back pain now and then. He is 19 and doing great so far and he works all the hours god sends him :)
