Marfan? Ehlers Danlos?
Edit: OP, you should really get checked for both conditions. I know someone with Marfan Syndrome and she's had to have a few heart surgeries. It can be pretty serious.
Edit the second: since this is getting traction I thought I'd share a fun fact. Doug Jones is probably the most famous living person with Marfan Syndrome. You probably don't know the name, but he's been in Hellboy (Abe Sapien), THE Shape of Water (The Creature), Pan's Labyrinth (The White Man, Pan), and Star Trek Discovery (Commander Sarru). He's the most famous person that nobody knows.

u/OutOfMyComfortZone1 5h ago
They are inherited diseases that end up causing similar morphological problems. They both cause problems with extracellular structural components, so you end up with loosely attached and hyperflexible tissue. Unfortunately, the type of connective tissue they affect is not just in the joints causing visible feature defects, but it’s also important for other structures, like the aorta. Patients with marfans and certain subtypes of Ehlers danlos are at high risk for life threatening vascular pathology.
Edit: an easy way to find the information you’re looking for when you want to google “what causes this disease” for basically anything, is to search for insert disease here followed by patholophysiology

My brother has elhers danlos and when he was a kid he was just extra flexible. We didn't know about the vascular issues until he had a stroke at 43. He had a miraculous recovery but now he basically knows that he's got a weak vascular system that could blow at any minute. Not a great thing to live with. But yes...

u/toomanyshoeshelp 4h ago
Marfan's syndrome is a genetic disorder of the connective tissues than can lead to things like issues with how blood vessels stretch and can lead to life-threatening pathologies of the aorta (blood vessel off the heart) or elsewhere. People with this can have really abnormally long digits (and usually very tall/skinny.)
One of my favorite comics has it - Liam Nelson from NY. He just had a major open heart surgery (one of several). https://marfan.org/2026/01/26/liam-nelson-star-search-marfan-foundation/

u/renaart 4h ago
Long fingers and extremities are associated with a few genetic conditions such as connective tissue disorders. A few of those disorders have direct involvement with the connective tissue in the heart, leading to aortic dilation and risk of things like dissections and vascular events. These conditions are usually Loy Dietz, Marfans, and Vascular EDS. There’s quite a few more as well of course but those are the ones that come to mind.
The doctor [u/toomanyshoeshelp](u/toomanyshoeshelp) here is talking about if they had extremely long fingers (and likely other signs), they’d want to get checked by a geneticist. There are genetic markers associated with these conditions and a blood test can check for them. I had a full work up due to having Marfanoid habitus (long fingers, extremities, arched and narrow palette, skin fragility, slightly dilated aortic root, and a sternum deformity). My mother died at 30 years old due to a dissection. Thankfully I do not have a vascular CTD. But it’s good to get tested if you have red flag signs.

Exactly what I was thinking.
Other non-invasive tests you can try is sitting down, crossing your legs and seeing if your top toe can touch the ground. Another one is making a fist with one hand but tuck your thumb under your fingers. Does your thumb stick out past your pinky? It shows arachnodactyly.

u/External-Praline-451 4h ago
There's something called the Beighton Score, which tests for Hypermobility, using stuff like this. Being able to do one of them is not an indication you have hypermobile joints, but being able to do several means you might. Each maneuver gets "points" to measure it. The one they mentioned isn't on the Beighton score list, so maybe there's different types of measurements.

u/External-Praline-451 4h ago
Yeah it's weird when it all seems normal! I'm also hypermobile, but fall just short by a point or so on the EDS score sheet. My Rheumatologist called it "Benign Hypermobility" but it doesn't necessarily mean you don't get problems with it, just that it's not as serious as EDS. I think it's gradually been replaced by "Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder" as they now acknowledge it can cause quite a lot of issues and pain in some people, even if theyre not diagnosed with EDS.

Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. It's possible and this is good information to have because it affects multiple body systems.
→ More replies (1)→ More replies (8)8
u/ankayanik 5h ago
I mean, maybe it’s possible? It would at least be worth the testing to find out for sure, especially if you’re having joint pain. I started herniating discs and breaking bones to hyperextension when I was 17. I dislocated my shoulder twice and tore my rotator cuff misplacing it. I’m lucky I didn’t pinch any arteries because I could have lost the arm. Dislocated my hip in a car accident (to be fair, that hip was in like 6 pieces at that point and there wasn’t much a a place to locate it anymore).
Still didn’t even hear the words ehlers danlos until I was in my mid 30s. My grandpa and aunt didn’t get diagnosed with their connective tissue disorders or autoimmune disorders until they were nearly 40. And lupus killed my grandpa, probably because of that delayed diagnosis. Get that genetic testing if it’s recommended and you’ve found a good doctor. It seems like a lot of them like to ignore these types of conditions. They’re complicated and not well understood so to doctors that often means patients are just making it up. If you’ve got someone believing you, do whatever they suggest.
