Imaging reveals dilation of the aortic root. Genetic testing identifies a mutation in the FBN1 gene, which encodes fibrillin-1. The following is a segment of the coding strand of the FBN1 gene: Wild-type sequence: 5′–GAA TGC CTC GAG–3′ Mutated sequence: 5′–GAA TGG CTC GAG–3′ Which of the following is the best description of this mutation?
