I decided to go with Marfan's syndrome. I have never heard of this syndrome before. After some research I found this to be a very interesting genetic disorder that affects the connecting fibers of the vessels, skin, eyes. It affects both male and female patients the same. People that live with this disorder are usually diagnosed at a young age because there are so many symptoms for this disorder. Some of the symptoms include longer hands, extreme growth , eye problems, heart problems specifically valves and major vessels. There is no cure for this syndrome, but people with the help of technology are living longer lives. One notable person I found to have this syndrome is Michael Phelps. He is very tall, long reach, and talked about his syndrome in his book and how it has helped in his success. I never knew that he had this syndrome until researching it.
