Seven Signs of Marfan syndrome

Seven signs of Marfan syndrome by Professor Yskert von Kodolitsch, member of the Heritable Thoracic Aortic Diseases Working Group (HTAD-WG).
This Pill of Knowledge (PoK) presents the seven signs of Marfan syndrome in a clear and simple manner. It can help anyone who suspects that they may have Marfan syndrome to assess their probability of having this rare disease, using a scoring system. This is not a tool for self-diagnosis, but If you have one or more of these signs you may wish to consider consulting with a Marfan syndrome specialist who will be able to give you more information and either confirm or rule out a diagnosis of Marfan syndrome.
PoK are the deliverable for VASCERN Work Package 7 on Pills of Knowledge, defined as short single video lessons in which an expert talks about a specific topic that has been selected and validated by the Rare Disease Working Groups (RDWGs).
Video in English.
