Doctor Kryskowski: The autosomal dominant mode of inheritance and symptoms found in the patients from this family indicate that they suffer from Marfan syndrome. It is an inherited disorder caused by mutations in the FBN1 gene. What is the most feasible (easiest, cheapest, most reliable) way to investigate if this is the correct diagnosis?
