About this trial

The Montalcino Aortic Consortium (MAC) will provide the infrastructure to assemble large cohorts of patients with mutations in known heritable thoracic aortic disease (H-TAD) genes, define the phenotype associated with these genes, and determine genetic and environmental modifiers of H-TAD.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Patients and their relatives with a confirmed pathogenic, likely pathogenic variant, or variant of unknown clinical significance in at least one of the H-TAD genes (i.e. TGFBR1, TGFBR2, SMAD3, TGFB2, TGFB3, ACTA2, MYH11, MYLK, PRKG1, MAT2A, MFAP5, LOX, COL3A1, FOXE3, and FBN1).

Patients of all ages, sex and race for which informed consent can be obtained.

Disqualifiers

Patients without a confirmed causative variant for H-TAD.
