Link between Chron's and Marfan's

Link between Chron's and Marfan's

Greetings-
I was diagnosed with Marfan's Syndrome when I was 13, after my father died of complications due to Marfan's.  I am now 44.  This last week, I went to my GI specialist regarding an abscess.  She suspects I have Chron's Disease.  After researching Chron's, I have found that I have most of the signs and symptoms associated with it.  I will be very surprised if I am not diagnosed with it after a colonoscopy this week.  I there evidence of a link between the two?  
Thanks-
