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.This publication has 23 references indexed in Scilit:
