SMAD6-related disease

This study is testing a less invasive procedure called TAVR to replace the aortic valve in 150 people who have a bicuspid aortic valve (a valve with two flaps instead of three) and severe narrowing. The goal is to see if it is safe and works well for people who are at low risk fo…

This study compares two ways to replace a narrowed heart valve in people with a bicuspid aortic valve (a common birth defect). One method is transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), a less invasive procedure using a tube inserted through a blood vessel. The other is traditi…

This study is looking for the genetic causes of bicuspid aortic valve disease, a common heart condition where the aortic valve has two flaps instead of three. Researchers will analyze DNA from 11,000 participants, including patients and their relatives, to find gene changes linke…

This study aims to uncover the genetic roots of aortic aneurysms and valve disease by analyzing tissue and blood samples from 3,000 participants. Researchers will look for new disease-causing genes and factors that affect disease severity. The goal is to build a biorepository to …
