Identification of novel splice mutation in SMAD3 in two Cypriot families with nonsyndromic thoracic aortic aneurysm. Two case reports

Abstract Background Thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAA/D) represents a potentially lethal disease group characterized by an increased risk of dissection or rupture. Only a small percentage (approximately 30%) of individuals with nonsyndromic familial TAA/D have a pathogenic variant in one...
