2024-11-11
Abstract excerpt
Genetic vascular disorders are prevalent diseases that have diverse etiologies and few treatment options. Pathogenic missense mutations in the alpha actin isotype 2 gene ( ACTA2 ) primarily affect smooth muscle cell (SMC) function and cause multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome (MSMDS), a genetic vasculopathy that is associated with stroke, aortic dissection, and death in childhood. Here, we explored g...
