FBN1 Splice-Altering Mutations in Marfan Syndrome: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Abstract excerpt

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a life-threatening autosomal dominant genetic disorder of connective tissue caused by the pathogenic mutation of FBN1. Whole exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing were performed to identify the pathogenic mutation. The transcriptional consequence of the splice-altering mutation was analyzed via minigene assays and reverse-transcription PCR. We identified a novel pathogenic mutation...
