Abstract excerpt
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart lesion in adults and is often associated with thoracic aortic aneurysms and aortic stenosis. The genetic causes of most non-syndromic cases of BAV remain unknown. Pathogenic variants in COL1A1 or COL1A2, which encode type I collagen (COL1), cause osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a rare disorder marked by bone fragility. Although aortic valve phenotypes,...
