Single Amino Acid Deletion in MYH11 Segregating in a Family with TAAD
Background Seven genes have been identified as causative in the development of thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) and dissections (TAAD). In this study, we identify a single amino acid deletion in MYH11 gene which segregates with disease in a large TAAD family. Methods We identified five members in one family who had a history of TAA or TAAD. Blood samples from fifteen members of this family were collected for whole exome sequenc... view moreĀ»
