Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant multisystem disorder caused by mutations in the fibrillin-1 gene (FBN1). A small portion of them is copy number variations (CNVs), which can occur through recombination-based, replication-based mechanisms or retrotransposition. Not many have been characterized precisely in MFS. METHODS: A female patient with suspected Marfan syndrome was referred for...
