The fibrillin-Marfan syndrome connection.

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 Sept 1993

Ramirez F, Pereira L, Zhang H, Lee B

Abstract excerpt

A few years ago no one would have suspected that the well-known disorder of connective tissue, Marfan syndrome, could be caused by mutations in a recently discovered extracellular component, fibrillin. Likewise, nobody would have predicted that fibrillin represents a small family of proteins that are associated with several phenotypically overlapping disorders. The fibrillins are integral constituents of the...
