Marfan syndrome is related to a defect in the connective tissue protein fibrillin. Vitamin D - resistant rickets is due to problems with phosphate metabolism (related to a gene mutation affecting phosphate re - absorption in the kidneys). Hemophilia A is caused by a deficiency of clotting factor VIII.
