Abstract

Marfan syndrome(MFS) is a connective tissue disorder affecting the cardiovascular, ocular and skeletal system, which may be accompanied by psychological features. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of fatigue, anxiety, and symptoms of depression in MFS patients, and to assess the degree to which sociodemographic and clinical variables are associated with fatigue and psychological aspects.
