8. Marfan Syndrome

Marfan syndrome is a rare condition that affects the connective tissue of the body. It is one of the most common genetic disorders that can cause scoliosis. The connective tissue plays a significant role in the body as it keeps all the cells, organs, and tissues bound together. Moreover, without strong connective tissue, the body wouldn't be able to grow and develop correctly, which is what makes it vital for correct spinal growth. Marfan syndrome can cause general symptoms that affect various parts of the body including the heart, eyes, and bones.
