    ABSTRACT: Background Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) are known to have a strong genetic component. Methods and results In a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using the UK Biobank, we analyzed the genomes of 1,363 individuals with AAA compared to 27,260 age, ancestry, and sex-matched controls (1:20 case:control study design). A similar analysis was repeated for 435 individuals with TAA compared to 8,700 controls. Polymorphism with minor allele frequency (MAF) >0.5% were evaluated. We identified novel loci near LINC01021, ATOH8 and JAK2 genes that achieved genome-wide significance for AAA (p-value <5x10-8), in addition to three known loci. For TAA, three novel loci in CTNNA3, FRMD6 and MBP achieved genome-wide significance. There was no overlap in the ge

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Discuss with your doctor

  • AAA genetic predisposition and screening approach Moderate

    rs114228595 associated with 64% increased abdominal aortic aneurysm risk

    Schedule discussion to assess individual risk and determine screening recommendations

Screening

  • Abdominal aortic aneurysm imaging Moderate

    Genetic predisposition warrants baseline assessment to guide surveillance strategy

    Discuss with physician regarding screening timing and follow-up intervals
