Reference Expression Profile of Three FBN1 Transcript Isoforms and Their Association with Clinical Variability in Marfan Syndrome
Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a rare connective tissue disorder mainly due to mutations in the FBN1 gene. Great phenotypic variability is notable for age of onset, the presence and absence, and the number and the severity of the symptoms. Our team showed that FBN1 gene expression level was a good surroga...

description | Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a rare connective tissue disorder mainly due to mutations in the FBN1 gene. Great phenotypic variability is notable for age of onset, the presence and absence, and the number and the severity of the symptoms. Our team showed that FBN1 gene expression level was a good surrogate endpoint for severity of some MFS clinical features. Eight alternative transcripts are referenced for the FBN1 gene. We hypothesized that MFS clinical variability could be related to specific FBN1 isoforms. Isoform expression profiles were investigated in skin and adventitial fibroblasts from controls and MFS patients. The results of the study showed that, in skin and adventitial fibroblasts, only three isoforms were found: FBN1_001, FBN1_004, and FBN1_009. The main isoform was FBN1_001 and it was significantly reduced in skin and adventitial fibroblasts of MFS patients. The expressions of FBN1_004 and FBN1_009 isoforms were similar between controls and MFS patients. However, the expression of the three isoforms was correlated only in patients. Furthermore, their expression levels were associated with the presence of ectopia lentis in MFS patients. Therefore, our results highlight that the two minor alternatively spliced FBN1 isoforms play a possible role in the pathogenesis of the disease. |
