摘要
Inactivating mutations in TGFBR2, encoding the transforming growth factor-beta (TGFbeta) type 2 receptor, may account for up to 10% of cases of Marfan syndrome. This finding has implications for a wider spectrum of disorders, including cancer, fibrosis and inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases, which are influenced by TGFbeta.
