Clinical Trial: Fibroblast Line Evaluation for COL5A eXpression and Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms: in Vitro Characterization of Cutaneous Fibroblasts in Adult Patients.

U.S., Dec. 16 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07282717) titled 'Fibroblast Line Evaluation for COL5A eXpression and Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms: in Vitro Characterization of Cutaneous Fibroblasts in Adult Patients.' on Dec. 02.

Brief Summary: This study examines adults with COL5A gene mutations to understand why some develop aortic aneurysms while others do not. Participants provide a small skin biopsy, and researchers analyze fibroblasts to evaluate collagen production, extracellular matrix organization, and connective-tissue signaling pathways. The goal is to identify biological differences that may explain variable vascular risk and support future personalized monitoring and treatment strategie...
