ABSTRACT
Genetic study can provide important insight into the etiology of aortic dissection. To explore the pathogenesis and natural history of aortic dissection, a number of genes have been identified through microarray chip screening and undergone testing of polymorphisms to find mutations strongly associated with the disease. The results suggested aortic dissection to be a multi-gene disorder. Multiple genes probably work together to promote its development. Several diseases with a genetic predisposition are closely connected with aortic dissection, which also implied a role of genetic changes and malfunction in this disease.
