We report 9 new mutations in German patients presenting with classical Marfan syndrome. All mutations occur in exons with calcium-binding (cb) epidermal growth factor-like (EGF) domains. Five mutations are missense involving exons 12, 27, 30, 44, and 52 with the resultant substitution of cysteine by
