Abstract excerpt
The Marfan (MFS) and Loeys-Dietz (LDS) syndromes are caused by mutations in the fibrillin-1 (FBN1) and Transforming Growth Factor Beta Receptor 1 and 2 (TGFBR1 and TGFBR2) genes, respectively. With the current conventional mutation screening technologies, analysis of this set of genes is time consuming and expensive. We have tailored a cost-effective and reliable mutation discovery strategy using multiplex PCR...
