Abstract excerpt
The fibrillin-1 gene (FBN1) mutations are associated with a broad spectrum of disorders including Marfan syndrome (MFS) and show great clinical heterogeneity. An underrepresentation for mutations leading to premature termination codon (PTC) in FBN1 exons 24-32 was found in neonatal or severe MFS but the underlying cause was unclear. This study thoroughly examined two FBN1 mutations on exons 24-32 region to...
