Abstract excerpt
Supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS), an inherited vascular disease, is caused by mutations in the elastin gene (ELN). Our aim was to identify novel mutations of ELN and to determine the expression of ELN in patients with SVAS. For screening mutations in ELN, we performed PCR-directed sequence analysis with genomic DNA isolated from SVAS patients and control subjects. Expression of ELN at the mRNA and protein...
