Abstract:
:The inheritance of restriction fragment length polymorphisms for two fibrillar collagen genes (COL1A2 and COL3A1) has been studied in a large Marfan syndrome kindred. We are able to show discordant segregation between the Marfan syndrome and each of the two collagen gene markers.

abstract:BACKGROUND:Bardet-Biedl syndrome is a pleiotropic disorder with 14 BBS genes identified. BBS1, BBS2, BBS4, BBS5, BBS7, BBS8, and BBS9 form a complex called the BBSome, which is believed to recruit Rab8(GTP) to the primary cilium and promote ciliogenesis. The second group, the chaperonin-like proteins BBS6, BBS10, and B...
