Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevalence and phenotype of smooth muscle alpha-actin (ACTA2) mutations in non-syndromic thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections (TAAD). DESIGN: Observational study of ACTA2 mutations in TAAD. SETTING: Centre for Inherited Cardiovascular Diseases. PATIENTS: A consecut...
