Abstract excerpt
Thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD) is associated with high mortality and medical expense. These poor outcomes are preventable by surgical repair; however, identifying at-risk individuals is difficult. Researchers are actively surveying the human genome (the repository of human genes) to characterize the genetic determinants of TAAD by identifying chromosomal regions likely to harbor such predisposing...
