Marfan syndrome is a genetic condition affecting connective tissues, and affects 1 in 3000 people. Some of the recognised signs include being particularly tall and slim, with children outgrowing their clothes quickly, having long fingers, and large feet, and stretchy skin.

Esteemed paediatric cardiologist, Dr Nitha Naqvi explains how to recognise the signs of Marfan syndrome, and the affect the condition can have on the heart.

If you suspect your child may have Marfan syndrome, it is important to be checked out by a specialist. You can request an appointment with Dr Nitha Naqvi via her Top Doctors profile: https://www.topdoctors.co.uk/doctor/nitha-naqvi
