Abstract excerpt
Familial aggregation of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) is now widely recognized, however, susceptibility genes have not yet been identified. Our approach to find susceptibility genes has been to collect families with AAAs and to perform DNA linkage analyses to identify regions on the human chromosomes that are linked to AAAs and could harbor susceptibility genes for AAAs. We identified 233 families with at...
