Deep learning enables genetic analysis of the human thoracic aorta
2020-05-14
Abstract excerpt
The aorta is the largest blood vessel in the body, and enlargement or aneurysm of the aorta can predispose to dissection, an important cause of sudden death. While rare syndromes have been identified that predispose to aortic aneurysm, the common genetic basis for the size of the aorta remains largely unknown. By leveraging a deep learning architecture that was originally developed to recognize natural images, we...
