Marfan syndrome is an autosomal dominant, multisystemic disorder, presenting with skeletal, ocular, and cardiovascular symptoms. This connective tissue disease is caused by mutations in FBN1, encoding fibrillin-1, which is an important extracellular matrix protein. Marfan syndrome shows significant clinical overlap with Loeys–Dietz syndrome, which is caused by genetic defects in components of the transforming growth factor-beta pathway: TGFBR1, TGFBR2, TGFB2, TGFB3, SMAD2, and SMAD3. Overlapping clinical features between Marfan syndrome and Loeys–Dietz syndrome include aortic root aneurysm, arachnodactyly, scoliosis, and pectus deformity.
