Cardiovascular manifestation is a known phenomenon among Marfan patients. Several genotype–phenotype studies have been performed to find association between cardiovascular disease severity and FBN1 gene mutations. However, these studies focused on intragenic small‐scale mutations, and until now no study was performed to explore the connection between ...

Abstract Background Congenital anomalies (CAs) with or without intellectual disability (ID)/developmental delay (DD) comprise a heterogeneous spectrum of diseases that affect approximately 3% of live births worldwide. Recently, whole‐exome sequencing (WES) demonstrated the highly heterogeneous genetic causes of CAs.

The use of segregation analysis in interpretation of sequence variants in SMAD3: A case report
Genetic testing in the diagnostic setting of familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissections can sometimes reveal variants of uncertain significance (VUS), where not enough informative individuals are available to perform extensive segregational analysis. In this paper, we describe two families where we uncovered two VUS in the SMAD3 gene. We present

Genetic variations indeed affected outcomes of dabigatran in Chinese NVAF patients. Minor allele carriers of UBASH3B rs2276408 and FBN2 rs3805625 increased bleeding risk. Seventeen identified SNP polymorphisms were associated with pharmacodynamics. Fourteen reported candidate genes were associated with bleeding and pharmacodynamics.

The paradigm of opposing phenotypes for both FBN1 and FBN2 suggests shared pathomechanisms. Abstract Different pathogenic variants in the fibrillin‐1 gene (FBN1) cause Marfan syndrome and acromelic dysplasias. Whereas the musculoskeletal features of Marfan syndrome involve tall stature, arachnodactyly, joint hypermobility, and muscle hypoplasia ...

Elastic fibers: formation, function, and fate during aging and disease
Elastic fibers are vital extracellular components of vertebrates providing numerous tissues and organs with the elasticity and resilience required for their function. Here, we review the current knowledge and discuss open questions on the formation, structure, and functions of elastic fibers and how aging and diseases affect their fate over the human ...

Abstract Background Chemotherapy resistance is a primary reason of ovarian cancer therapy failure; hence it is important to investigate the underlying mechanisms of chemotherapy resistance and develop novel potential therapeutic targets. Methods RNA sequencing of cisplatin‐resistant and ‐sensitive (chemoresistant and chemosensitive, respectively ...

Perspectives on the revised Ghent criteria for the diagnosis of Marfan syndrome [PDF]
Three international nosologies have been proposed for the diagnosis of Marfan syndrome (MFS): the Berlin nosology in 1988; the Ghent nosology in 1996 (Ghent-1); and the revised Ghent nosology in 2010 (Ghent-2).
