Abstract excerpt
FBLN5 encodes fibulin-5, an extracellular matrix calcium-binding glycoprotein that is essential for elastic fibre formation. FBLN5 mutations are associated with two distinct human diseases, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cutis laxa (CL), but the biochemical basis for the pathogenic effects of these mutations is poorly understood. Two missense mutations found in AMD patients (I169T and G267S) and two...
