Fibrillin-1 Mutations Causing Weill-Marchesani Syndrome and Acromicric and Geleophysic Dysplasias Disrupt Heparan Sulfate Interactions

The extracellular glycoprotein fibrillin-1 forms microfibrils that act as the template for elastic fibers. Most mutations in fibrillin-1 cause Marfan syndrome with severe cardiovascular and ocular symptoms, and tall stature. This is in contrast to mutations within a heparin-binding TB domain (TB5),...
