Abstract excerpt
Marfan syndrome (MFS), a common connective tissue disorder, is caused by fibrillin-1 (FBN1) mutations that are scattered throughout the gene and are largely unique to individual families. Mutation detection in this large gene of 65 exons is a considerable technical challenge. To develop an efficient method capable of identifying all possible mutations in this gene, we have explored the use of a novel denaturing...
