Phenotypic variation in the expression of Marfan syndrome and the relationship to age

Burnitz, Kristopher K. January 2008 (has links)
This research has provided an analysis of how the issue of age is related to the expression of specific symptoms characteristic of the genetic disorder known as Marfan syndrome. Marfan syndrome occurs when the body cannot produce, or produces too little fibrillin-1, a component of the connective tissues. The body systems affected by Marfan syndrome include the skeletal, cardiovascular, ocular, and pulmonary systems. Evidence drawn from medical case studies showed that while not statistically significant, illustrated that symptom expression increases with age, especially during the period of adolescence. The evidence also suggested that the type of physician involved in a diagnosis may affect the information provided in case studies. / Department of Anthropology

The complete thesis in print form is available from the University Library. / A clinical and molecular study of patients with unequivocal Marfan sydnrome, or with an undiagnosed connective tissue disorder with some features in common with Marfan syndrome. Presents the phenotype of six Marfan patients with an FBN1 mutation, patients with Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome or furlong syndrome, and two children with congenital aneurysms. Details the molecular screening of 44% of the FBN1 gene coding sequence for putative mutations. / Thesis (M.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Paediatrics, 1995

Biomechanics of common carotid arteries from mice heterozygous for mgR, the most common mouse model of Marfan syndrome

Taucer, Anne Irene 15 May 2009 (has links)
Marfan syndrome, affecting approximately one out of every 5,000 people, is characterized by abnormal bone growth, ectopia lentis, and often-fatal aortic dilation and dissection. The root cause is a faulty extracellular matrix protein, fibrillin-1, which associates with elastin in many tissues. Common carotids from wild-type controls and mice heterozygous for the mgR mutation, the most commonly used mouse model of Marfan syndrome, were studied in a biaxial testing device. Mechanical data in the form of pressure-diameter and force-stretch tests in both the active and passive states were collected, as well data on the functional responses to phenylephrine, carbamylcholine chloride, and sodium nitroprusside. Although little significant difference was found between the heterozygous and wild-type groups in general, the in vivo stretch for both groups was significantly different from previously studied mouse vessels. Although the two groups do not exhibit significant differences, this study comprises a control group for future work with mice homozygous for mgR, which do exhibit Marfan-like symptoms. As treatment of Marfan syndrome improves, more Marfan patients will survive and age, increasing the likelihood that they will develop many of the vascular complications affecting the normal population, including hypertension and atherosclerosis. Therefore, it is imperative to gather biomechanical data from the Marfan vasculature so that clinicians may predict the effects of vascular complications in Marfan patients and develop appropriate methods of treatment.
