Abstract excerpt
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart lesion with an estimated population prevalence of 1%. We hypothesize that specific gene variants predispose to early-onset complications of BAV (EBAV). We analyzed whole-exome sequences (WESs) to identify rare coding variants that contribute to BAV disease in 215 EBAV-affected families. Predicted damaging variants in candidate genes with moderate or...
