Marfanoid
Marfanoid (or Marfanoid habitus) is a constellation of symptoms resembling those of Marfan syndrome, including long limbs, with an arm span that exceeds the height of the individual, and a crowded oral maxilla, sometimes with a high arch in the palate, arachnodactyly, and hyperlaxity.
Associated conditions include:
- Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B[1][2]
- Homocystinuria[3]
- Spontaneous pneumothorax
- Ehlers-Danlos syndrome[4]
- Possibly Asperger syndrome [5]
