Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant connective tissue disease caused by variants in the fibrillin 1 ( FBN1 ) gene. While common in humans, spontaneous animal models are rarely reported. We present the first phenotypic and molecular characterization of MFS in domestic cats. A pair of random-bred littermates exhibited bilateral lens luxation and aortic root dilation, the cardinal features…
