Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiovascular malformation. Although highly heritable, few causal variants have been identified. The purpose of this study was to identify genetic variants underlying BAV by whole exome sequencing a multiplex BAV kindred. METHODS AND RESULTS: Whole exome sequencing was performed on 17 individuals from a single family (BAV=3; other...
