SO interesting. Familial #Marfan syndrome with an unaffected parent. The potential for trisomy FBN1 (would aorta and joints be extra strong?!) I love old-school #HumanGenetics. #Genetics pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

This is a useful seminar for anyone with #vEDS, Marfan syndrome, Stickler, or other genetic vascular condition. I'll share the link to the Marfan Foundation in the reply, & the shortened link here is for the free seminar:

For both #RareDisease month and #MarfanSyndrome awareness month, I thought I'd share this article I wrote for the @ahajournals.bsky.social about being a patient-scientist working on developing genetic therapies for my condition and related conditions.
"Marfan syndrome is a connective tissue disorder that affects body growth. Connective tissue provides support for your skeletal structure and all the organs of your body."

Here’s to people with #marfansyndrome living longer healthier lives 🥺 #ASHG25
Everybody in this room now knows what #MarfanSyndrome is. That knowledge alone will save lives. #ASHG25 #Marfan
Incredibly surreal moment watching Dr. Hal Dietz win the #ASHG25 Lifetime Achievement Award. The discovery that FBN1 is the causal gene of #MarfanSyndrome has saved my life and my family’s lives. I hope to continue contributing to this field to help patients like me.

Do you have #MarfanSyndrome or #LoeysDietzSyndrome, or support someone who does? If you’re also aged 16+, living in the #UK, we want to hear from you. Please spare 20 minutes to take part in our anonymous survey about your experiences of living with or supporting someone with the syndromes.

For every journal we sell we donate one to a local cardiology unit. If you’ve had cardiac surgery this journal may be for you. It’s not advice. That’s for your doctor to give. This is a colorful place to keep track of daily vitals.

I did my first significant #Marfansyndrome experiment today. No matter how it turns out, I’m proud I’ve gotten this far. Four years ago I imagined today and before grad school I never would have thought this was possible. Being a patient-scientist isn’t easy but I don’t take it for granted! #marfan
