A member asked:
What causes marfanoid habitus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's genetic: A huge number of genes give you the basic body build. There are a few fairly common one-locus genetic diseases that feature a marfanoid habitus, but most don't have any of these and do fine. Choose a sport that matches the body you have and enjoy who you are.
