[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/FBN1_HUMAN FBN1_HUMAN] Defects in FBN1 are a cause of Marfan syndrome (MFS) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/154700 154700]. MFS is an autosomal dominant disorder that affects the skeletal, ocular, and cardiovascular systems. A wide variety of skeletal abnormalities occurs with MFS, including scoliosis, chest wall deformity, tall stature, abnormal joint mobility. Ectopia lentis occurs in up to about 80% of MFS patients and is almost always bilateral. The leading cause of premature death in MFS patients is progressive dilation of the aortic root and ascending aorta, causing aortic incompetence and dissection. Note=The majority of the more than 600 mutations in FBN1 currently known are point mutations, the rest are frameshifts and splice site mutations. Marfan syndrome has been suggested in at least 2 historical figures, Abraham Lincoln and Paganini.<ref>PMID:15221638</ref> <ref>PMID:1852208</ref> <ref>PMID:1301946</ref> <ref>PMID:1569206</ref> <ref>PMID:8406497</ref> <ref>PMID:8504310</ref> <ref>PMID:8281141</ref> <ref>PMID:7977366</ref> <ref>PMID:8004112</ref> <ref>PMID:8040326</ref> <ref>PMID:8071963</ref> <ref>PMID:7870075</ref> <ref>PMID:8136837</ref> <ref>PMID:7611299</ref> <ref>PMID:7738200</ref> <ref>PMID:8882780</ref> <ref>PMID:8863159</ref> <ref>PMID:9254848</ref> <ref>PMID:9338581</ref> <ref>PMID:9837823</ref> <ref>PMID:9452085</ref> <ref>PMID:10694921</ref> <ref>PMID:10441597</ref> <ref>PMID:10425041</ref> <ref>PMID:11700157</ref> <ref>PMID:12203992</ref> <ref>PMID:11826022</ref> <ref>PMID:14695540</ref> <ref>PMID:15161917</ref> <ref>PMID:16222657</ref> <ref>PMID:16220557</ref> <ref>PMID:20803651</ref> <ref>PMID:21542060</ref>   Defects in FBN1 are a cause of ectopia lentis, isolated, autosomal dominant (ECTOL1) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/129600 129600].

== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/FBN1_HUMAN FBN1_HUMAN] Fibrillins are structural components of 10-12 nm extracellular calcium-binding microfibrils, which occur either in association with elastin or in elastin-free bundles. Fibrillin-1-containing microfibrils provide long-term force bearing structural support. Regulates osteoblast maturation by controlling TGF-beta bioavailability and calibrating TGF-beta and BMP levels, respectively (By similarity).<ref>PMID:15062093</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Fibrillin-1 is a mosaic protein mainly composed of 43 calcium binding epidermal growth factor-like (cbEGF) domains arranged as multiple, tandem repeats. Mutations within the fibrillin-1 gene cause Marfan syndrome (MFS), a heritable disease of connective tissue. More than 60% of MFS-causing mutations identified are localized to cbEGFs, emphasizing that the native properties of these domains are critical for fibrillin-1 function. The cbEGF12-13 domain pair is within the longest run of cbEGFs, and many mutations that cluster in this region are associated with severe, neonatal MFS. The NMR solution structure of Ca(2+)-loaded cbEGF12-13 exhibits a near-linear, rod-like arrangement of domains. This observation supports the hypothesis that all fibrillin-1 (cb)EGF-cbEGF pairs, characterized by a single interdomain linker residue, possess this rod-like structure. The domain arrangement of cbEGF12-13 is stabilized by additional interdomain packing interactions to those observed for cbEGF32-33, which may help to explain the previously reported higher calcium binding affinity of cbEGF13. Based on this structure, a model of cbEGF11-15 that encompasses all known neonatal MFS missense mutations has highlighted a potential binding region. Backbone dynamics data confirm the extended structure of cbEGF12-13 and lend support to the hypothesis that a correlation exists between backbone flexibility and cbEGF domain calcium affinity. These results provide important insight into the potential consequences of MFS-associated mutations for the assembly and biomechanical properties of connective tissue microfibrils.
