Genetically engineered animal models for Marfan syndrome: challenges associated with the generation of pig models for diseases caused by haploinsufficiency

open access: yesThe Journal of Reproduction and Development, 2022
Recent developments in reproductive biology have enabled the generation of genetically engineered pigs as models for inherited human diseases. Although a variety of such models for monogenic diseases are currently available, reproduction of human ...

Large genomic fibrillin-1 (FBN1) gene deletions provide evidence for true haploinsufficiency in Marfan syndrome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Mutations in the FBN1 gene are the major cause of Marfan syndrome (MFS), an autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder, which displays variable manifestations in the cardiovascular, ocular, and skeletal systems.

A Recurring FBN1 Gene Mutation in Neonatal Marfan Syndrome [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 2002
Marfan syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder of connective tissue caused by mutations in the fibrillin 1 gene (FBN1). FBN1 mutations have been associated with a broad spectrum of phenotypes. Neonatal Marfan syndrome has unique clinical manifestations and mutations.To determine if there is a discernible genotypic-phenotypic correlation associated ...

Novel p.G1344E mutation in FBN1 is associated with ectopia lentis [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Ophthalmology, 2020
BackgroundEctopia lentis refers to dislocation or subluxation of the crystalline lens. Fibrillin-1, encoded by FBN1, is an important microfibrillar structural component that is specifically required for the suspensory ligament of the lens. FBN1 mutations may cause abnormal structure of microfibrils and has been associated with a broad spectrum of ...

Identification of novel FBN1 variations implicated in congenital scoliosis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Human Genetics, 2019
AbstractCongenital scoliosis (CS) is a form of scoliosis caused by congenital vertebral malformations. Genetic predisposition has been demonstrated in CS. We previously reported that TBX6 loss-of-function causes CS in a compound heterozygous model; however, this model can explain only 10% of CS.

Assembly assay identifies a critical region of human fibrillin-1 required for 10-12 nm diameter microfibril biogenesis.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
The human FBN1 gene encodes fibrillin-1 (FBN1); the main component of the 10-12 nm diameter extracellular matrix microfibrils. Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a common inherited connective tissue disorder, caused by FBN1 mutations.

Paucity of skeletal manifestations in hispanic families with FBN1 mutations [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Medical Genetics, 2010
Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant condition with pleiotropic manifestations involving the skeletal, ocular, and cardiovascular systems. The diagnosis is based primarily on clinical involvement of these and other systems, referred to as the Ghent criteria. We have identified three Hispanic families from Mexico with cardiovascular and ocular
