<i>In Vivo</i> Phenotypic Vascular Dysfunction Extends Beyond the Aorta in a Mouse Model for Fibrillin-1 ( <i>FBN1</i> ) Mutation
2023-11-18
Abstract excerpt
In individuals with Marfan Syndrome (MFS), fibrillin-1 gene ( FBN1 ) mutations can lead to vascular wall weakening and dysfunction. The experimental mouse model of MFS ( FBN1 C1041G/+ ) has been advantageous in investigating MFS-associated life-threatening aortic aneurysms. Although the MFS mouse model presents an accelerated-aging phenotype in elastic organs (e.g., lung, skin), the impact of FBN1 mutations on...
