Abstract excerpt
Thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection is associated with increasing mortality rate that may occur as part of a syndrome or as an isolated familial condition. Several genes have been implicated in causing TAAD, though an appropriate genetic test for their parallel testing is not yet available. Herein, we describe the novel 117-kb "MFSTAAD chip" that may help to understand the genetic basis of TAAD. A custom...
