Abstract excerpt
Marfan syndrome is a heritable autosomal-dominant connective tissue disorder and it was typically caused by mutations in FBN1. However, the synonymous mutation was seldom recorded to be related to Marfan syndrome. Hereon, Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification failed to detect a copy number variant involving FBN1 but a synonymous mutation c.4773A > G (p.Gly1591Gly) was identified by NGS in exon 39. RNA...
