Mutations responsible for Larsen syndrome cluster in the FLNB protein

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A gene for Larsen syndrome was recently described, and mutations were reported in five cases. OBJECTIVE: To test whether mutations in this gene, FLNB, could explain the disease in our independent collection of sporadic and dominant Larsen syndrome cases; and to test whether mutations occurred in a non-random pattern. RESULTS: Missense mutations were found in each of five cases. Four of the five were...
