he Marfan Trust is the only UK charity that funds medical research so that more is known about Marfan syndrome and its management. The results of our internationally recognised research enables doctors and surgeons to provide better treatment for patients in the short and long term. Over 18,000 people are affected by Marfan syndrome in the UK, with many more anticipated to be living with the condition undiagnosed.

2. To provide educational literature on Marfan syndrome and all its aspects to the medical profession and the general public, thus raising awareness of the condition.
