Marfan syndrome stretches limbs to extreme lengths
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
A single mutated gene responsible for the fibrillin-1 protein can completely rewrite a person's structural integrity. Marfan syndrome dramatically alters the connective tissue throughout the system, leading to intensely elongated limbs, highly flexible joints, and disproportionate height. It essentially turns the structural scaffolding into a hyper-elastic, exaggerated framework.
One discovery leads to another.
