How does a person inherit this genetic disorder? Is it dominant or recessive? Is it genetic or chromosomal?

A person can either inherit this disorder from their parents or have a mutation.  Marfan Syndrome is autosomal dominant meaning that if one parent has the disease than there is a high possibility of the child being affected. Marfan Syndrome is also chromosomal, the 15th chromosome is the one affected.
