Abstract excerpt
We performed detailed DNA sequencing analysis on type III collagen cDNA from 58 patients with either intracranial artery aneurysms or cervical artery dissections. The 58 patients were of seven different nationalities; among the patients were three pairs of relatives, so that 55 were unrelated, an...
