How possible is it that a cure will be found for Marfan Syndrome?

Scientists have not yet found a cure for Marfan Syndrome.  Although there have been many scientific discoveries involving Marfan Syndrome, that have increased the average life expectancy there is no cure.  Marfan Syndrome affects the same gene for everyone but it has a different effect for different people.  This is known as variable expression, and scientists do not know why this occurs yet.  In conclusion, finding a cure for Marfan Syndrome is not likely.
