Across
  1. 6. mutation that causes an early stop codon in a gene
  2. 8. multiple proteins connect together to form a larger, fiberous structure
  3. 9. requires only one mutated copy to cause marfan syndrome; the inheritance pattern
  4. 10. a bluge in the aorta which can rupture and cause fatal blood loss
Down
  1. 1. mutation caused by a change in one of the codons of a gene, not an early stop codon
  2. 2. causes abnormal curvature of the spine due to abnormal connectuve tissue
  3. 3. an important property of bones and connective tissue provided by fibrillin
  4. 4. codes for proteins such as FBN1
  5. 5. codes for fibrillin and causes Marfan Syndrome when one copy is mutated
  6. 7. protein that makes up much of the intercellular matrix in the form of microfibrils
