About this trial

The aim of this study is to explore the genetic information associated with the development of TAA and aAD in individuals without history or syndromic features (Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Turner syndrome etc.) for aortic disease. For this purpose, whole genome sequencing will be performed in patients with documented aortic aneurysm or/and aortic dissection.

All patients who will undergo surgery for aAD or TAA at the University Hospital Basel, beginning in 2024.

Disqualifiers

Patients will be excluded if they are not able or not willing to provide informed consent.

Patients with diagnosed heritable vascular disorders, such as Marfan syndrome, Turner Syndrome, Loeyes Dietz and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
