The Wikipedia page linked is only a few lines long, it is a bit rude to assume I haven’t read it.

The first phrase after the summary is :

This feature can occur on its own with no underlying health problems

I wouldn’t have left the comment I did if that wasn’t the case.

I made no assumptions about what you did or did not read. I've known people with Marfan Syndrome, so I commented on it. Simple as that.
