The Biomechanics of Fibrillin Microfibrils: Lessons from the Ciliary Zonule
Marfan syndrome is an inherited connective tissue disorder that affects the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and ocular systems. It is caused by pathogenic variants in the fibrillin-1 gene (FBN1).

Clinicopathological Challenge: A Progressively Enlarging Hardened Skin Plaque
ABSTRACT Stiff skin syndrome (SSS) is a rare connective tissue disease manifesting as a progressive, non‐inflammatory fibrosis that causes the skin and soft tissues to harden. It can result in restricted joint movement, particularly affecting the shoulder and pelvic girdle. A segmental variant with a better prognosis has been described.

Advances in the Treatment of Striae Distensae
ABSTRACT Background Striae distensae (SD) is a common cutaneous condition with an estimated incidence of 56%, associated with rapid skin expansion, hormonal changes, and genetic factors. While traditional treatments (e.g., topical tretinoin, various lasers) exhibit limitations, non‐ablative fractional laser (NAFL), injectable fillers, alpha hydroxy ...

A c.3037G > A mutation in FBN1 gene causing Marfan syndrome with an atypically severe phenotype. [PDF]
Marfan syndrome is a pleiotropic connective tissue disease inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, mostly caused by mutations in the FBN1 gene, which is located on chromosome 15q21.1 and encoding fibrillin 1.

Background: The Marfan syndrome is an autosomal dominant heritable disorder of connective tissue. It is caused by mutations in the fibrillin-1 gene encoding glycoprotein fibrillin-1, a component of microfibrils of extracellular matrix.
