Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To analyze the FBN1 mutations in Chinese patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS) and to make a genetic diagnosis based on haplotype linkage analysis for MFS. METHODS: Nine MFS families (17 patients) were analyzed with single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and sequencing. Four primers were designed for the flanking sequences of FBN1 gene and used for haplotype-segregation analysis of MFS(B)....
