Patients with the same FBN1 mutation type exhibit different phenotypes, which indicates additional risk factors. Mitochondrial dysfunction was observed in the aorta of both MFS patients and Marfan murine models.

The MFS patients with these mutations had more severe symptoms than family members without the mutation. m.9738G &amp;gt; A was identified in a family whose dominant phenotype was aortic manifestation. A sporadic case with this rare mutation site has an aortic aneurysm. We also described the mutation frequency and mutation rate in MFS. The frequency of all solid variants, nonsynonymous variants, pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants and variants of uncertain significance was more abundant in MFS patients compared to the control group. The mutation rate of the coding region, MT-rRNA and MT-tRNA was higher in the MFS group.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
