How to Reduce Risk
Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder. There are no lifestyle changes that can be made to reduce the risk of developing this disorder or passing this disorder down to children. Couples who are affected by Marfan syndrome and are considering having children should go through genetic counseling to assess the risk of passing this disorder down to their children. Marfan syndrome cannot be prevented, but steps can be taken to reduce the complications from this disorder. Seeking regular medical attention is the best way to live a long and healthy life.
