Do I have marfan syndrome?

I'm a boy and I'm 14 years old and I'm worried that I have marfan syndrome. I am kind of tall and skinny, but I'm not unusually tall, and I have pectus carinatum. My fingers aren't that long, but they aren't perfectly straight either. I also noticed some stretch marks on my lower back, but I have grown a lot recently and I think it might just be from growing. I don't have ectopia lentis, but I'm nearsighted and I wear contact lenses.
