Abstract excerpt
Aortic dissection or rupture is a major cause of mortality in vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS), a connective tissue disorder caused by heterozygous mutations in the collagen type III alpha 1 chain (COL3A1) gene. C57BL6/J (BL6) mice carrying the Col3a1G938D/+ mutation recapitulate the vEDS vascular phenotype and die suddenly of aortic rupture/dissection. However, 129S6/SvEvTac (referred to here as 129) mice...
