Bilateral subluxation of the lens in a case of sporadic Marfan syndrome
Abstract
Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by a fibrillin-1 gene mutation (FBN1). Atypical MFS is caused by inactivating mutations in transforming growth factor β receptor (TGFβR). About 30% of cases of MFS do not have a family history.
