Abstract

Marfan syndrome is an inherited connective tissue disease with autosomal dominant inheritance and pronounced phenotypic variability, which is highly likely to be caused by genetic modifiers. This review presents the molecular characterization of fibrillin-1, the protein product of the disease-associated FBN1 gene, the genotype-phenotype correlations studied to date, and the results of the search for possible genetic modifiers.
