Identification of gross deletions in FBN1 gene by MLPA [PDF]
Background Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder caused by mutations in the FBN1 gene. Approximately 90% of classic MFS patients have a FBN1 mutation that can be identified by single-gene sequencing or gene-panel ...

Decreased frequency of FBN1 missense variants in Ghent criteria-positive Marfan syndrome and characterization of novel FBN1 variants [PDF]
The diagnosis of Marfan syndrome (MFS) remains challenging despite the 2010 revision to Ghent nosology criteria, and there is a lack of published information regarding FBN1 genotype associations in patients since the update in Ghent criteria. Applying revised Ghent criteria, we reviewed consecutive proband cases (n=292) submitted for FBN1 sequencing ...

Surgical management of non-syndromic ectopia lentis [PDF]
AIM: To compare whether aphakic contact lenses or secondary iris-claw intraocular lenses are superior in the refractive management post-pars plana vitreolensectomy in a pedigree with an FBN1 mutation causing non-syndromic ectopia lentis (NSEL) with ...

No differences in FBN1 genotype between men with and without abdominal aortic aneurysm
Background Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is an aortic enlargement in which the transverse diameter reaches at least 30 mm. Certain risk factors, such as age, male gender, and smoking, are well known; however, less is known about the genetic factors ...

Fibrillin-1 regulates periostin expression during maintenance of periodontal homeostasis
Background/purpose: Human periodontal ligament consists of elastic system fibers, mainly fibrillin-1 (FBN1). Periostin (POSTN) maintains periodontal homeostasis.

The clinical spectrum of complete FBN1 allele deletions [PDF]
The most common mutations found in FBN1 are missense mutations (56%), mainly substituting or creating a cysteine in a cbEGF domain. Other mutations are frameshift, splice and nonsense mutations. There are only a few reports of patients with marfanoid features and a molecularly proven complete deletion of a FBN1 allele. We describe the clinical features

AbstractThe FBN1 gene encodes profibrillin protein that is cleaved by the enzyme furin to release fibrillin-1 and a glucogenic hormone, asprosin. Asprosin is implicated in diverse metabolic functions as well as pathological conditions in mammals. However, till date, there are no studies on asprosin in any non-mammalian vertebrate.

FBN1 contributing to familial congenital diaphragmatic hernia [PDF]
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a relatively common, life‐threatening birth defect. We present a family with recurrent CDH—paraesophageal and central—for whom exome sequencing (ES) revealed a frameshift mutation (c.4969_4970insA, p.Ile1657Asnfs*30) in the fibrillin 1 gene (FBN1) that causes Marfan syndrome.
