What tests are done to diagnose marfan syndrome?

Multiple : There is no single test for Marfan's Syndrome. After the clinical suspicion raised, a detailed exam with a focus on heart with EKG and Echo, imaging and genetic history will be needed for the confirmation.

No Specific Test ?: Marfan's Syndrome is usually diagnosed based of clinial criteria; major / minor per Revised Ghent Nosology with testing for mutations at FBN1 Many other syndrome share features with Marfan's so satisfaction of criteria set for MF is imperative. Criteria is also modified for children less than 20 yrs. Take care!
