<em>KIF6</em> Trp719Arg Genetic Variant Increases Risk for Thoracic Aortic Dissection

Background: KIF6 (kinesin family member 6), a protein coded by the <i>KIF6</i> gene, serves an important intracellular function to transport organelles along microtubules. In a pilot study, we found that a common <i>KIF6</i> Trp719Arg variant increased the propensity of thora...
