چکیده    Marfan syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder affecting mainly the skeletal, ocular and cardiovascular systems. most cases are caused by mutations in the fibrillin-1 gene (fbn1), although there are some reports on deletions involving fbn1 and other additional genes. we report a male patient who was first evaluated at 4 years of age. echocardiogram showed a mildly dilated aortic sinus. he also had a history of muscular ventral septal defect which was closed spontaneously and trivial mitral regurgitation. other phenotypic features include frontal bossing, anteverted ears, joint hyperlaxity, learning disability, skin striae, and height and weight in the >97th centile but no other diagnostic findings of mfs and does not fulfill the revised ghent criteria. chromosomal microarray analysis showed a deletion of approximately 36.8 kb at 15q21.1, which starts in intron 6 and ends in intron 9 and includes three fbn1 exons. sequence analysis of the breakpoint region confirmed the deletion and revealed a concomitant insertion of a retrotransposon within the intron 6/intron 9 region. the intragenic deletion of exons 7–9 was likely the result of a retrotransposition event by a mast2-sva element mediated by repetitive sequences.
