Molecular and Genetic Insights into Thoracic Aortic Dilation in Conotruncal Heart Defects
Thoracic aortic dilation (AD) has commonly been described in conotruncal defects (CTDs), such as tetralogy of Fallot, double outlet right ventricle and transposition of the great arteries, and truncus arteriosus. Several theories for this have been devised, but fairly recent data indicate that there is likely an underlying histologic abnormality, similar to that seen in Marfan and other connect...
متن کاملNew insights into the molecular diagnosis and management of heritable thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections.
Since the identification of the fibrillin‑1 gene as the causal gene for Marfan syndrome, our knowledge of molecular genetics and the applicability of genetic testing for heritable thoracic aneurysms and dissections (H-TAD) in clinical practice have increased substantially. Several new syndromes related to H-TAD have been described and the list of mutated genes in syndromal and nonsyndromal H-TA...
متن کاملGenetic Insights into Bicuspid Aortic Valve Formation
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart defect, affecting 1-2% of the population. It is generally diagnosed late in adulthood when deterioration of the abnormal leaflet becomes clinically evident. BAV patients have an increased risk of developing serious complications, including stenosis, regurgitation, endocarditis, dilation of the aorta, aortic dissection, and aneurysm...
متن کاملGenetic variation of infant reduced folate carrier (A80G) and risk of orofacial and conotruncal heart defects.
How folate reduces the risks of congenital anomalies is unknown. The authors focused on a gene involved in folate transport-reduced folate carrier-1 gene (RFC1). Using data from a California case-control study (1987-1989 births), the authors investigated whether the risks of orofacial clefts or conotruncal heart defects were influenced by a polymorphism of infant RFC1 or by an interaction betwe...
