Genotype-associated structural and nanomechanical alterations of aortic fibrillin-1 microfibrils in Marfan syndrome

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding fibrillin-1 (FBN1), the main component of extracellular microfibrils. In the aortic wall, these microfibrils maintain structural integrity and sustain hemodynamic load. Pathogenic FBN1...
