Familial spontaneous pneumothorax is not linked to FBN-1, the defective gene in the Marfan syndrome.
Background: Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) is common and associated with a tall thin body habitus similar to that of the Marfan syndrome. Its aetiology is unknown and most cases are isolated. A small proportion are familial, with 59 reported pedigrees, which are mostly autosomal dominant (as...
