A member asked:

Skinny people (ectomorph) and high forehead--are they marphan?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Anatoly Belilovsky answered

Not necessarily.: The best easy test is to wrap a person's right thumb and index around their left wrist. If the thumb and finger meet and overlap by a phalanx or more, Marfan is likely.
