Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The mechanisms underlying sex differences in calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) are poorly understood. We aimed to uncover sex-specific gene expression signatures of CAVS, including genes located on sexual chromosomes. METHODS: We performed mRNA sequencing from the explanted aortic valves of 500 individuals from our institute who underwent aortic valve replacement (n = 440) or a heart...
