Abstract excerpt

Mice carrying the tight skin (TSK) mutation harbors a 3.0-kb genomic duplication (exons 17-40) of the fibrillin-1 gene (Fbn-1) located on band F of chromosome 2 as TSK mutation. We cloned and sequenced the mutated Fbn-1 gene, since it is believed to be responsible for TSK syndrome. Sequence analy...
