Fibrillln mutations in Marfan syndrome and related phenotypes.

Abstract excerpt

A casual association has been established between mutations in the fibrillin 1 gene and Marfan syndrome and related phenotypes. Analysis of mutations in these disease types has provided new insights into microfibril assembly and function. These include evidence for a mutation in a fibrillin 1 domain associated with severe phenotype; indication of profibrillin processing by a furin-like endoprotease; linkage...
