Abstract excerpt
Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection (TAAD) is a life-threatening pathology and remains challenging worldwide. Up to 40% of TAAD are hereditary with complex heterogeneous genetic backgrounds. Recently, next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been successfully applied to identify genetic variants in an efficient and cost-effective manner. In our study, NGS coupled with DNA target-capture array was used to screen...
