Fibrillin is the major component of extracellular microfibrils. Mutations in the fibrillin gene on chromosome 15 (FBN1) were described at first in the heritable connective tissue disorder, Marfan syndrome (MFS). More recently, FBN1 has also been shown to harbor mutations related to a spectrum of conditions phenotypically related to MFS and many mutations will have to be accumulated before genotype/phenotype relationships emerge. To facilitate mutational analysis of the FBN1 gene, a software package along with a computerized database (currently listing 63 entries) have been created.
原纤维蛋白是细胞外微原纤维的主要成分。15号染色体上的原纤维蛋白基因(FBN1)突变最初在遗传性结缔组织疾病马方综合征(MFS)中被描述。最近,FBN1也被证明存在与一系列表型与MFS相关的疾病相关的突变,并且在基因型/表型关系出现之前还需要积累许多突变。为便于对FBN1基因进行突变分析,已创建了一个软件包和一个计算机化数据库(目前列出63个条目)。
