NCT ID NCT06786754
First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study looks at skin cells (fibroblasts) from 15 people with Marfan syndrome or other genetic aortic diseases to understand how aortic aneurysms develop. Researchers will examine how these cells move and behave, and which genes are turned on or off. The goal is to find markers that could help predict or track aneurysm growth, but this is a lab-based study with no direct treatment.
