Marfan is an inherited disorder that is autosomal dominant. This means that you only have to have one allele to express the condition. The hard part to understand is the fact that the expression of the condition varies widely even between siblings that are affected.

Yes, Marfan Syndrome can be passed on from a parent to their child.
However, neither on my parents have it, they were both missing a gene, the FBN1, fibrillin gene & therefore I didn’t get any of this gene and was born with Marfan Syndrome.
My two older brothers are healthy, and do not have Marfans.

Yes
Marfan syndrome is hereditary, which means it can be passed to a child from a parent who's affected. In around three-quarters (75%) of cases, Marfan syndrome is inherited from 1 parent. The syndrome is autosomal dominant, which means a child can inherit it even if only 1 parent has the syndrome. (Source: www. nhs.uk)
