In the majority of cases, diagnosis is reached by history and physical examination of the patient, being more easily established when the patient and other family members have dislocation of the lens, dilatation of the aorta and limbs long and thin. In all patients suspected should be performed an echocardiogram and an eye screening.
There is also a genetic test that detects abnormalities in chromosome 15
