(Submitter supplied) BACKGROUND: The vast majority of thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) are observed either together with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), a common congenital disorder, or in idiopathic cases such as patients with a normal tricuspid aortic valve (TAV). The main objective of our study was to identify shared and unique gene expression properties underlying the aortic dilation of BAV and TAV patients. METHODS AND RESULTS: Tissue biopsies for RNA and histological analyses were obtained from aorta of non-dilated (<40mm) and dilated (>45mm) aorta of BAV and TAV patients (in total 131 patients). more...
