Makes your aorta split or detach from the heart and you drop dead right there on the basketball court or volleyball court.
Had a doc show me one of the tests for it.. you stand upright next to a wall... with your head touching the wall.... put the finger tips of one hand in contact with the wall right where the top of your head should be.
Keep your finger tips touching the wall in the same spot as you rotate and bend your body such your finger tips remain in the same spot on the wall and then uou make your other hand touch the floor.
How much of your hand can touch the floor?
Just the finger tips?
The palm?
Your wrist?
Your elbow?
Supposedly people with Marfans have freakishly long arms.
