Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a dominant monogenic disorder caused by mutations in fibrillin 1 (FBN1). Rarely, compound heterozygosity for FBN1 mutations has been described. METHODS: A large kindred with MFS was assessed clinically over decades, and genetically using exome and/or Sanger sequencing.
