Genetic analysis of six SNPs in candidate genes associated with high cross-race risk of development of thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections in Chinese Han population.

Abstract excerpt

AIM: Genetic susceptibility is an important risk factor for aortic aneurysm and dissection. Recent case-control association studies have identified six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in a Caucasian population. We aimed to determine whether these loci confer susceptibility to thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) in a Chinese Han population and thus to establish...
