ABSTRACT
A 47-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus and previously repaired ascending aortic aneurysm presented with a new ascending aortic aneurysm. Genetic testing revealed a FLNA gene mutation. Her mother subsequently tested positive and was found to have an aneurysm on screening, illustrating the utility of genetic screening for aortopathies. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
