A member asked:
Do people with marfan syndrome ever stop growing in height and if so is it about the same time others without the disease stop growing ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : There are multiple potential. abnormalities associated with marfans, such as scoliosis, for example; but they do typically reach skeletal maturity (stop growing) at a similar age as those without marfans. In general, their height is taller than average and they tend to be slender.
