Abstract

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a heritable connective tissue disorder primarily caused by pathogenic variants in the fibrillin-1 (FBN1) gene, with early mortality often resulting from aortic complications. In this thesis, I investigate metabolic changes in MFS, highlighting mitochondrial dysfunction as a key factor in worsening aortic pathology. Focusing on the abundant smooth muscle cells
