Abstract excerpt
Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a dominant monogenic disease caused by mutations in fibrillin 1 (FBN1). Cardiovascular complications are the leading causes of mortality among MFS. In the present study, a whole-exome sequencing of MFS in the Chinese population was conducted to investigate the correlation between FBNI gene mutation and MFS. Forty-four low-frequency harmful loci were identified for the FBN1 gene in HGMD...
