Current Research
Many organizations such as the Marfan Foundation, The National Institute of Health and The National Organization of Rare Disorders are underway to understand Marfan syndrome and its treatment. They include a plan to figure out the reason for the cardiovascular problems of Marfan syndrome, a study to understand the process that leads to skeletal manifestations, and studies to clarify the role of chemical messager called transforming growth factor-beta in the disorder. Together these organizations can help to cure Marfan syndrome.
