## Communicated by Sergio Ottolenghi Currarino syndrome (CS) is a rare congenital malformation described in 1981 as the association of three main features: typical sacral malformation (sickle-shaped sacrum or total sacral agenesis below S2), hindgut anomaly, and presacral tumor. In addition to the
Mutations in the gene encoding fibrillin-1 (FBN1) cause Marfan syndrome (MFS) and other related connective tissue disorders. In this study we performed SSCP to analyze all 65 exons of the FBN1 gene in 76 patients presenting with classical MFS or related phenotypes. We report 7 missense mutations, 3
