Scientists search for clues in skin cells to predict deadly aortic bulges

NCT ID NCT06786754

Summary

This study aims to understand how aortic aneurysms develop in people with Marfan syndrome and related genetic conditions. Researchers will collect small skin samples from 15 participants to study their cells in the lab. By comparing these cells to those from healthy people, they hope to find biological markers that could help predict aneurysm risk.
