those affected with the Marfan Syndrome, and the
families of those affected.  The Marfan Syndrome is

affects several bodily systems.  The most dangerous
problem in the syndrome is aortic dissection and/or
rupture.

There are chapters of this organization, the 
National Marfan Foundation, in several states.
The address of the headquarters is:

	The National Marfan Foundation
	Priscilla Ciccariello, Chairperson
