Abstract excerpt
(1) Background: Whole Exome Sequencing of patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm often identifies "Variants of Uncertain Significance" (VUS), leading to uncertainty in clinical management. We assess a novel mechanism for potential routine assessment of these genes in TAA patients. Zebrafish are increasingly used as experimental models of disease. Advantages include low cost, rapid maturation, and physical...
