Abstract excerpt
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) may serve as elegant tool to improve risk stratification in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV)-associated aortopathy. However, the exact pathogenetic pathway by which miRNAs impact aortopathy progression is unknown. Herewith, we aimed to analyze the association between circulating miRNAs and rare variants of aortopathy-related genes. 63 BAV patients (mean age 47.3±11.3 years, 92% male) with a root...
