Abstract excerpt
The genetic influences on normal aortic valve function and their impact on aortic stenosis risk are of substantial interest. We used deep learning to measure peak velocity, mean gradient and aortic valve area from magnetic resonance imaging and conducted genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in 59,571 participants in the UK Biobank. Incorporating the aortic valve measurement GWAS with aortic stenosis GWAS using...
