Abstract excerpt
Thoracic aortic aneurysm with or without dissection (TAAD) can be broadly categorized as syndromic TAAD (sTAAD) and isolated TAAD (iTAAD). sTAAD and is highly correlated with genetics. However, although the incidence of iTAAD is much higher, its monogenic contribution is not yet clear. Here, we sequenced 15 known TAAD genes for 578 iTAAD cases from four cardiac centers in China and found that 10.6% patients with...
