A member asked:
Would marfans cause 38 yo to grow taller after yrs of no change? no other symptoms-healthy heart, no curved chest or high palate; slightly nearsighted
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: After the bony growth plates have closed, would usually occurs in late adolescence or early adulthood, further change in height should not occur, even in Marfan's syndrome. Good luck.
