Mapping of Familial Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm/Dissection With Patent Ductus Arteriosus to 16p12.2–p13.13
6 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Three loci have been shown to be responsible for nonsyndromic familial thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) and aortic dissections (ADs). We recently described a large family in which TAA/AD associates with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and provided genetic arguments for a unique pathophysiological entity. METHODS AND RESULTS: Genome-wide scan was performed in 40 subjects belonging to 3 generations in...
