Several disease-associated mutations involve serine residues within the serine-rich domain.
Prenatal testing is possible, however, if a parent has Marfan's and the particular mutation involved is identified.
This mutation involves a translocation of the long arm chromosomes of 15 and 17.
Only in the last year or two have researchers begun to find some genetic mutations involved.
Large-scale mutations involve the deletion or gain of a portion of a chromosome.
The mutation involves the deletion of part of a gene on the surface of cells.
The mutation involves a change from T to G.
The mutation involves a C to T change.
The mutation, he said, involves a deletion of genetic material that destroys the functioning of a tumor suppressor gene.
