autosomal disease of the connective tissues resulting from a lack of the fibrillin-1 glycoprotein (Brown). The missense mutation on the FBN1 gene producing the fibrillin-1 protein decreases the amount produced available for function with other proteins (Defective Secretion)‚ facilitating deficient connective tissue formation. Fibrillin-1 normally binds to calcium molecules in order to form microfibrils in the extacellular matrix (Defective Secretion). Due to this‚ the normal arrangement of a non-mutated
