Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant disease of the connective tissue which affects about 1 in 5,000 individuals, and is caused by mutations in FBN1 gene, which encodes the extracellular matrix protein fibrillin-1. The main clinical manifestations include aneurysms and aortic rupture, excessive growth of bones, scoliosis and chest deformities, lens dislocation and myopia. Despit…
Embryonic stem-cells (ESC) are obtained from inner cell mass of the blastocyst and are identified by the ability to generate all the tissues of grown body. The establishment of ESC inaugurated the possibility of replace disabled cells for "new" ones. Nevertheless, medical utility of ESC are restricted by ethical issues that involves the use of human embryos, causing destruction of these, …
Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant disease of the connective tissue, which affects about 1 in 5,000 individuals, and is caused by mutations in FBN1 gene, which encodes the extracellular matrix protein fibrillin-1. The main clinical manifestations involve the vascular and skeletal systems. Despite complete penetrance, MFS has a great clinical variability, even among individuals…
