We collected 15 related family members from a Chinese 4-generation pedigree with Marfan syndrome.
•
There were three different phenotypes, including ectopia lentis, aortic dissection and unaffected.
•
We identified the pathogenic mutation for the phenotypes presented in this family by the exome and Sanger sequencing.
•
We firstly reported that a same FBN1 mutation was detected simultaneously in three different phenotypes within one family.
•
The unaffected girl with FBN1 mutation may presumably represent a rare case of nonpenetrance.
