Disease relevance of FBN1

  • Hence, vascular disease in MFS is thought to result when FBN1 mutations preclude elastic fibre maturation by disrupting microfibrillar assembly [1].
  • A nonsense mutation in the fibrillin-1 (FBN1) gene of a Marfan syndrome (MFS) patient induces in-frame exon skipping of FBN1 exon 51 [2].
  • A third family cosegregates mild mitral valve prolapse syndrome with a mutation in FBN1 that can be functionally distinguished from those associated with the classic MFS phenotype [3].
  • Examination of the possible role of biologically relevant genes around FBN1 in systemic sclerosis in the Choctaw population [4].
  • A significantly higher incidence of ectopia lentis was found in the patients with MFS with an FBN1 mutation vs those without (P=.04) [5].
 

Psychiatry related information on FBN1

  • Monotone counting performance was found to be correlated with digit span (WAIS-R-HK), information (WAIS-R-HK), comprehension (WAIS-R-HK), logical memory (immediate recall) (Weschler Memory Scale, WMS), and visual reproduction (WMS) [6].
  • Neuropsychological assessment included the WAIS and WMS subtests information, picture completion, similarities, digit span, logical memory, and paired associate learning [7].
  • The rapid progress seen in developmental dyslexia and WMS demonstrates the possibilities and difficulties inherent in researching such disorders, and the authors hope that similar progress will be made for congenital prosopagnosia and other disorders in the near future [8].
  • Although the WMS possesses acceptable psychometric reliability, the clinician must keep in mind that the MQ may change significantly over time for individual Ss [9].
  • Recent research correlates TOVA abnormalities with impaired WMS scores of early dementia [10].
 

High impact information on FBN1

 

Chemical compound and disease context of FBN1

 

Biological context of FBN1

  • We now describe ten novel mutations of FBN1 resulting in strikingly different phenotypes [19].
  • Sequencing of the FBN1 gene revealed a heterozygous C to T transition at nucleotide 8176 resulting in the substitution of a tryptophan for an arginine (R2726W), at a site immediately adjacent to a consensus sequence recognized by a cellular protease [20].
  • FBN1 intragenic marker haplotypes ruled out the possibility that the other allele played a significant role in modulating the phenotype in this family [21].
  • Demonstration of the recurrence of Marfan-like skeletal and cardiovascular manifestations due to germline mosaicism for an FBN1 mutation [22].
  • Previously, mutations in the fibrillin-1 gene on chromosome 15 (FBN1) have been reported to cause MFS [23].
