Life Story of Evan “Evan couldn't wait for school to begin. All summer long, he'd looked forward to trying out for the basketball team. He'd be a natural, everyone told him. At 14, he pretty much towered over his classmates. But when the time came for his sports physical, the doctor noticed some things about Evan that warranted a closer look. It wasn't just that Evan was really tall for his age and compared with other people in his family. In addition to being 6'1", his arms, legs, and fingers were very long and thin and his breastbone curved inward, giving his chest a caved-in look. The doctor told Evan that he couldn't give him the OK to try out until Evan had a few medical tests. Why? Because he suspected that Evan might have a genetic disorder called Marfan syndrome.”(http://kidshealth.org/teen/diseases_conditions/genetic/marfan.html)
