Marfanoid habitus----------->long arms, legs,toes and fingers, pectus excavatum or pectus carinatum, scoliosis,blue sclera, kerataconus, MVPsyndrome etc etc..
Inherited connective tissue disorders are good D/DX for marfans syndome, as they closely relate to marfan body habitus------>like ehler danlos syndrome, osteogenesis imperfecta, beals syndrome, homocystinuria, MASS syndrome( myopia, mitral valve prolapse, aortic dilatation, skin involvement, skeletal involvement) etc etc etc...

BEALS SYNDROME....
Beals syndrome is an extremely rare genetic disorder characterized by the permanent fixation of certain joints (e.g., fingers, elbows, knees, and hips) in a flexed position (contractures); abnormally long, slender fingers and toes (arachnodactyly); permanently flexed fingers (camptodactyly); and/or abnormally shaped ears resulting in a "crumpled" appearance. In addition, affected individuals may exhibit front-to-back and side-to-side curvature of the spine (kyphoscoliosis); feet that are abnormally positioned (talipes equinovarus or clubfoot); outward displacement of the fingers (ulnar deviation of the fingers); an abnormally short neck; and/or displacement of the lens of the eye (ectopia lentis). In some cases, affected individuals may have a slight deformity of the valve on the left side of the heart (mitral valve prolapse). Beals syndrome is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait.
